Starting Clay | Art

Welcome to another post on my blog. For Art, we started making our characters for our stop motion out of modelling clay. In our group, we chose what object we are making. We had split our group to twos.

One of the tasks was to take a photo of our clay work. Here is the work that we have done yet.

Our clay work.

What are we up to? | Art

Welcome to another post on my blog. In today's post, I will be reflecting on what we are up to so far. So we have been working on Stop Motions and making Stop Motion movie with a group. The main concept of our movie is to relate to Maanakitanga. We got put in groups, in my group, there are Levi, Cody, Christian and I. We had to choose roles for our group, Director, Drawer (Illustration) and Cameraman. Here are our roles, Levi & Christian as Cameramen, Cody as Illustration, and I am a Director and Illustrator Assistant.

Our story shows Mannakitanga by using kindness and friendship. Here is our storyboard that we have created.

Our Characters, Setting, and our Movie is Top Secret. 

I hope you like my post about what we are up to in Art. Be tuned to find out what we are making. Have a cool day!! Bye!!

What is Stop Motion? | Art

Welcome to another post on my blog. For our new hurumanu, we are doing Art. We are looking at Stop Motion and what it is. First, we had a discussion and come up with ideas about Stop Motion & what they are. We had to get synonyms about Stop and Motion.

Stop

• Freeze
• Still
• Not moving
• Stay
• Stuck

Motion

• Movement
• Act
• Jiggle
• Going
• Do

We also needed to find out how we make Stop Motions. We got ideas like:

• Smudging an image
• Moving the camera
• Changing a picture - one bit at a time
• Stop - take a photo - move - take a photo - stop...

Our next discussion was about what we need to make a Stop Motion. There were ideas like:

• A camera
• Keyboard
• iMovie
• Paper
• Pen
• Pencil
• Colouring stuff (pencils, pens, felts, etc.)
• Screen

What do we do for our characters? We need to:

• Use clay
• Draw
• Sketch
• Actual people
• Make puppets

I hope you like my post about Stop Motion. Have a cool day!! Bye!!
