Balinese Masks

Step 1: Look at features of a Balinese mask. A mix of human, animal and god like features.

 

Step 2: Draw mask. I used a step-by-step drawing website called Drago Art as a guide. Students added their own unique animal and human features.

Step 3: Blend pastels together for a professional finish.

Step 4: Add paisley and floral patterns to background.

Step 5: Add a wash or watercolours over the top.

Year 5 did a brilliant job. Here are some of their Balinese Masks:

The Great Wave

Year 4 have created artworks in the style of Hokusai's "The Great Wave."

The students drew the wave with black markers, then used blue watercolour paints (Cool colours) to the water.

Next the students painted their sky, mountain and any boats using orange and brown watercolours (warm colours).

Finally, Year 4 used white acrylic paint to paint foam and sea spray.

As a challenge activity when finished, some students signed their name in Japanese in the top left corner.

They look absolutely fantastic! Well done Year 4!
