LI:to make a insect art using plant life.
The art is inspired by Raku Inoue
For the fourth activity for the first week we were tasked to make an insect out of plant life we find in our backyard. We could pick any insect we wanted to make. I chose to make a dragonfly. I used a long skinny leaf, two leaves, a fluffy flowers and two flower stems. At first I didn't know what insect to make but when I clicked on the link on the SLJ site. The first thing I saw was a insect that looked like a dragonfly and that is how I got my idea. I then started putting my art together, the first thing I did was split the two leaves to make the wing. Then I placed the long leaf to make the bottom of the dragonfly. Next I placed the fluffy flowers to make the body and the head. Lastly I placed down the stem of the flowers to finish my dragonfly.
I feel proud of my creation because it was fun to make and I got to discover the school backyard.
Do you like my dragonfly?
Hi Ong,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your blog post about your insect art and I think your dragon fly looks really cool! I have done this task as well and I also chose to do a dragon fly but I had used twigs as the body of my dragon fly. Maybe next time try to make your learning intention stand out so that it is easier for the reader to see. Other than that, is you were going to pick another insect to create, what insect would you pick?
Great Job Ong!
Hi Lukah
DeleteThank you Lukah for commenting on my blog post. I saw your creation of a dragonfly and I thought it looked great. I will try to change my blog posts.
If I had to make another insect I would chose a butterfly. If you had to chose a different insect to make what would you chose?
Thank you. Ong
Mingalaba Ong!
ReplyDeleteYour dragonfly looks absolutely great! Its good to see that you have used different objects for your dragonfly! (Leaves, flowers, sticks etc). I have also done this activity and I have created a butterfly! I also enjoyed this activity. If you would like to see the different leaves and flowers etc that I used on my butterfly check out my blog.
Is there any facts you found about the Dragonfly?
Keep up the great work throughout the Summer Learning Journey!

Hi Fau
DeleteThank you for commenting on my blog. I saw your butterfly and I thought it was great. This is one of the facts I found about Dragonflies: Dragonflies were some of the first winged insects to evolve, I found this interesting since I didn't know about it.
Do you have anything I could change about my work?
Thank you. Ong
Hello Ong, this is Elle from the Summer Learning Journey team.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your insect art; you have done a great job on your dragonfly! I really like it, especially because you’ve laid it out so nicely and used some great materials with different colours! Well done on sharing your inspiration, Raku Inoue have done lots of cool pieces haven’t they?
I also really like that you’ve added an explanation of your experience and that you included your thought process when getting creative. My favourite part of your creation is the long antennae; it looks very realistic. What is your favourite part of your dragonfly?
I’m glad you’re proud of your dragonfly - I’m proud of you for making it! Keep it up and I can’t wait to see your future blog posts and activities!
Ngā mihi,
Elle (SLJ)
Hello Elle Williams
DeleteThank you for commenting on my blog. In my opinion I think Raku Inoue is a great artist and has done a good job.
My Favourite part of my creation is the head and the body because at the beginning I didn't know what to use them for, and got me a little confused.
Thank you again for commenting on my blog post. I also can't wait for your next comment on my blog post.
If you had to make an insect, what insect would you make?
Thank you. Ong
Hello again Ong, it is wonderful to hear back from you!
DeleteYou are most welcome, I think you have done a great job and I can definitely see your inspirations from Raku Inoue shining through!
It’s so cool to hear that your favourite part of your insect is the part you found the most tricky to start off with! It’s always a great feeling when you overcome something that challenges you. If you found the head and body the hardest, what part of your dragonfly did you find the easiest?
That is a very good question. I think if I was to create an insect, I would make a bumblebee! I think it would be fun to come up with a way to make the stripes, and to make small wings with a larger body.
It was a pleasure to comment on your awesome dragonfly art! I can’t wait to comment on more of your blog posts.
Ngā mihi and have a great day,
Elle (SLJ)
