Art

Over Term 2 and 3 we have been looking at the work of Dick Frizzell, a famous New Zealand artist. Last term we did teatowel screenprints with fabric paint and this term we are using spraypaint and canvas to make our artworks. We watched a video of Dick and his son Otis Frizzell creating their "Fishbombs" series which have become iconic NZ artworks and discussed their techniques and ideas. We liked the idea of using a word that would represent part of our identity. We are using a technique called masking to create our artworks and this morning Shannon completed her masking so was able to start spraypainting...she had a lot of fun! Can you tell what her identity word will be when she pulls of the word mask?
