L.I to get inspiration from Insect art, and use nature to express our creativity.
In this activity we were asked to watch a video that was created by Raku Inoue. Raku Inoue, is a Canadian artist who uses, twigs, flowers, leaves, seeds etc. to create complex portraits, of insects.
LS2(& Room 5) had watched a video that explained how Raku Inoue, had created these small portraits. It was then our turn to try out these intricate portraits. LS2 had walked around through the school collecting whatever they needed. Most students got twigs, potentilla, wheat, lavenders & etc. After collecting our resources, we created our masterpiece.
I chose to create a butterfly. in my flower, I filled up the wings with flowers as you can see. I used twigs to do the outlining of this butterfly.
What is a Insect? A insect is a small arthropod animal that has six legs and generally one or two pairs of wings.
Three Facts about a Butterfly:
1. There are almost 20,000 butterfly species.
2. Butterflies only live for a few weeks
3. Butterfly wings are transparent
I found this activity very fun because we got to explore our creativity and got to explore the outside nature. I found it interesting that this was very challenging and how their are 20,000 different species of butterflies.
Malo e lelei Sulia,
ReplyDeleteWoah! The design you made looks amazing! I liked the way you have added so much detail in the wings and the outline with the stems. After seeing your artwork the first thing I think of is "wow". I also liked that you have added a background which will make the design look more effective. I liked how you have added a well explained blurb as it makes your blog post more detailed making it easy for the reader to know about the topic. Same as you, I have completed this task and made a butterfly. Your interesting facts are amazing! Can you name five species of butterflies that you might know?
Keep up the great work! I am looking forward for your reply.
