Mele's clay work shop

As we entered the clay workshop we had to find a seat and put an apron on. After that we got to see a dish of clay.What we were making was clay sculptures.The ladies that were showing us how to make it was Sue and Georgia.

So what we did first was we cut the clay with kebabs sticks.Then we had to stick them back on but facing upward. It was making a frame for the outside.We had to use glue to stick it back on.

When we were done we had to move on to the next step and that was putting glass in our clay.There were big glass and little glass. Also they were multi coloured.

Claude Monet

Claude Monet was are french impressionist painter.He also enjoyed painting the same subject and landscape or cityscape. Each painting captured a moment in time. Each show different colours and light.

Claude Monet lived in Giverny.He like to paint his beautiful water garden because the water moves and reflects the world and how it changes colours in the sun. He painted the water garden  over and over again.

The famouse painting of the Japanese bridge shows an arched bridge with a pond under it.It has trees and shrubs  surounding the pond. Each season the pond would change with leaves falling into the pond. In the summer the water would be warm with light shining onto the surface.

Robert Delaunay art by Mele

Robert Delaunay was a french painter.His wife name was Sonia. He used Art form called Orphism And he used vibrant colours and geometric shapes was apart of his life. Also he was a writer and a poet.



He liked to use vibrant bright colours to bring his art alive. He likes contrasting two different colours together to oppose each other. He used geometric shapes to represent objects and people.



In the painting of the tall portuguese woman on the left side of the picture is a big leaf. It was full of contrasting colours.  In the center he used geometric shapes to make a table in  the kitchen.





This is my first attempt at creating a piece of art the style of Robert Delaunay.
