SELF PORTRAIT: Ko Wai Au? Who Am I?

This term Room 2 created multimedia self-portraits. We used a combination of photographs, collage and painting to share with each other some of the things that make us unique and special.

First, each student created a two lists: 1) things they enjoy doing and 2) adjectives that describe their key personality traits.

The whole class worked really hard to complete their artwork  in time for our first Parent-Teacher interviews for the year.

Check out the movie below to see how Room 2's self-portraits turned out!

Self-Portraits using Micrography - Ko Wai Au? Who Am I?

Kia ora koutou!

Room 2's movie today for PENN, our school's TV news, was inspired by our inquiry learning topic. In Team 5 this term, the theme is Ko Wai Au? Who Am I? 

We each created self-portraits using a special style of graphic art called micrography. The word can be broken down into two parts: micro = small and graphy = letters.

Our teacher took our photo and printed them out onto  A3 sheets of paper. First, we traced the outline of our head, hair and face in pencil and then we replaced all of the lines with words and sentences about ourselves.

Take a look at our art work in this movie and see if you can spot:

a) which student walks to school?

b) which student loves reading and maths?

c) which student likes telling funny jokes all the time?

d) which student's favourite colour is yellow?
e) which student loves to dance?

Blog of the Week: LEONE- Self Portrait using micrography

Our inquiry topic in Team 5 this term is Ko Wai Au? Who am I? Students in Room 2 used a style of graphic design called micrography. The meaning is from two words:  micro = small, graphy = writing.

Leone explains in his blog post how he created a super cool picture of himself using words. Give it a try and let us know how your own self-portrait turned out!
