My Extremely Staggering Whale Art!

In Week 6, according to my post last week, it was Sea Week! Our class created a presentation about information you have to know about our chosen marine animal! For it, I chose a Sperm Whale, if you haven't seen my previous post. Please do check it out! I will give a link to my Sea Week presentation. Anyway, we created an art of a whale using dye, this art was inspired by an artist named Michelle Fleur, who draws thousands and thousands kinds of whales using watercolour/dye!

Moving on to how we created our art, we started to experiment with using dye on scrap paper. Next, we created a sketch of the real art and used a model of a real whale to guide us. After, we used dye to colour the creature, and for finishing touches.. we used white paint to draw the 'rorqual', or the lines under the whale starting from its throat and to its stomach. 

Here's my whale art. Thank you for visiting my blog!

My Sea Week Facts & Presentation!

2 weeks ago was Sea Week, which was Week 6 of Term 1, 2020, where we celebrated and learnt all about the ocean, its creatures, habitats, and oceans. Every year, the NZAEE celebrates Sea week and we have a theme for each year, this year its "Toi Moana, Tio tangata– Connecting with our seas" as shown in my presentation, for my slides I have picked a marine animal I would like to discuss about, for it I decided to pick the animal "Sperm whale". I've gathered data to create it through research and articles. My slides are about what I researched and found out in the articles, why we celebrate Sea Week every year, 10 facts about my sea creature (in which I've only managed to have 6), what my sea creature eats, and lastly, the predators of my sea creature. Here's my presentation:
