Art with Mr.Braddrok

"Zoom!" said Mr.Braddock. He was the best artist I've ever met so far!! He was an art genius. We drew nikau palms and mine was not bad. I thought I wasn't good at art but it just worked. It was like magic. I did a lot of mistakes (in pencil) but I didn't do any mistakes with sharpie. When Mr. Braddock coloured in the artwork it was so realistic. He was so cool!! Actually everybody's artwork was amazing and I couldn't believe it (I could but like I never thought of that).

I got a lot of mistakes but it was okay because I got over it with pen (sharpie). He was really good and he had good teaching skills. We had a beach for our background and the Pohutukawa was really good on Mr.Braddock's artwork. He has his own website and I think it's http://www.grahambraddock.net/

The ball part was really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really good with red shadows and Mr. Braddock said red shadow goes on green really well and he was right!! I like Mr.Braddock's art skills and he is an art genius!

The Arts Festival

At my school - Oteha Valley, we are having an Arts Festival and I have 4 things in it because I am in the art extention with the Deputy Principal! Most people only have 2 pieces of art in the Arts Festival. One of my things that I did was a parrot. I made it by dabbing the paint brush on to a piece of paper to make a parrot shape and I did a 3D thing to it. I painted a piece of paper, let it dry and then cut it out, folded it and glued it onto the wing of the parrot.Everyone in our class created art for the festival too. These are our butterflies.
