Learning to draw with Wendy Duggan

On Tuesday July 27, Room 7 and Room 6 went to see Wendy Duggan.  We drew a book, a bucket and a pumpkin.  It is called still life.  We did some planning steps.  We drew a fence which is the outline that helps you to figure out where to put things. 
The hardest part was the shading, we had to shade light and dark.  We used two pencils, an HB and a 6B, the HB is our classroom pencil and it's light, the 6B pencil was Wendy's and they are really dark.  I really enjoyed learning to draw!

Yesterday Room 6 and Room 7 went up to the Tech Block to learn to draw.  We met a lady named Wendy Duggan.  She is an artist from Christchurch.  We drew a book, bucket, and one big pumpkin.  We drew slowly step by step, this is called sketching.  I enjoyed it a lot!

Alliteration through the alphabet. By Room 7

Abby ate an apple
Bob broke his boat
Caleb climbed the climbing wall
Danny danced at the disco
Ella eats eleven Easter eggs
Five fat frogs were in the fog
Grey grass grows fast
Holly hates having haircuts
Isabella eskimo is ill
Jolly Jake jumped to Japan
Katie kicked the Kings kittens
Laura loves little lambs
Mickey might migrate
Nice Nicola nodded her head at nine naughty children
Odd Olivia is an octopus
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers
Queen Elizabeth had a quilt
Red ruby rode a racing car
Silly Sam shot seven goals
Terrific Tor tried to teach the teacher
Umbrellas are useful
Victoria went to view the volcano
Window wipers wiggle when they work
Xray
Yellow yummy yoghurt
Zoe zebra zipped her zipper

Alliteration in Room 7

Sneaky snakes slither slowly.

The freaky fire formed bigger, the firemen found some fantastic furniture flaming fiercely.
