Warren Pohatu paintings

We have been learning how to use elements of good composition in our paintings of a New zealand animal in the style of the artist Warren Pohatu. Warren Pohatu was the artist model used for the mural on the end of Room 7. The paintings have definitely been a work in progress as each layer of paint needed to dry before commencing on the next step. The children learnt about underpainting, the effects of using opaque and transparent colours and how to mix colours. Blending the paint to make animals appear 3D was the aspect of the paintings that the students found the most difficult.

Learning Intention
We are learning to use features of an artist’s style

Success Criteria

• Will have used colour effectively
• Will have Maori patterns as shown in artist models in the painting
• Will show use of shading and tone to make animals appear 3D
• Will be a balanced composition with the animal the main focus
