Indian Ink & Chalk Pastel on wet strength cartridge

Bright, bold colour broken up with pattern and negative spaces.  Learning included (but not limited to) researching the artist and her inspiration through literacy, investigating shape, pattern and lines through maths, delving into colour (primary, secondary, warm, cool & complimentary) and coping with temperamental indian ink and messy, smudgy, chalky pastels

  1. Bonjour Tui Class,
    Your artwork is very impressive. They must look amazing on your wall. We use wet strength cartridge too - it is great for this type of artwork. We have also been looking at your individual blogs and have learnt a lot about Sandra Silberzweig. What do you mean by negative space? Josh thinks that's the black part. Catalina, Kharn and Cole think it means no white spaces. Who is right? We love your slide deck. Could you please tell us how you did it so we can do one on our blogs.
    Mā te wā,

  2. Hi Room 1! Thank you for your lovely comments, we are very proud of our artwork :)
    We used negative space to create a 'calm' place for the eyes to have a bit of a rest from all the amazing colours and patterns. So Josh is correct! But Catalina, Kharn and Cole, we did work hard to make sure there were no white spaces as well - we loved that you noticed that too!

  3. Whoops, we forgot to answer your other question.
    We create the animations in google slides. By duplicating the previous slide then moving your images a little bit, it makes it look like they are moving! You can end up with a lot of slides! On the individual blogs if you go back to term one you will see animations about the environment. For this slide-deck we wanted the photos to look like they were Polaroids being 'dropped' onto a pile 😊
