Do you know what a Pagoda is? Or do you know why cherry blossoms are so important to Japan? and If don't know I can tell you facts and information about these things and why we did this artwork. So first of all we did this artwork because of the Olympics in Japan. For our learn create share we had to learn about their flag. Like you mite not have knew that the red dot on the Japanese flag is the rising sun.
Earlier I was talking about a Pagoda for those of you who don't know what it is it's a Religious building that people use for religious purposes. They are a big part of Asia (and Japan) because they are a very sacred place. Japanese people like cherry blossoms because it represents the start of new things. And people go and have picnics when they start to bloom.
What a beautiful balanced artwork Charlotte. I can see how you have used the Japanese flag and other Japanese symbols in your picture. How did you make the Cherry Blossoms? They stand out nicely against the dark red. You are an amazing artist!

Hello And thanks again auntie
ReplyDeletethis art work was very fun and we watched a video on how to form the stick bits of the branches but for the white blossom but we got the end of a paint brush and dipped it in white paint.
Kia Ora Charlotte,
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing piece of artwork, I can see you have really done your research and my gosh it has paid off, I didn't know that the white circle on their flag represents the sun rising.
I love how you have used the traditional colours for your masterpiece, it is very authentic.
Mā te wā

Hello Miss Mikayla
DeleteI dint expect you to comment on my blog but thank you anyway and The research was quite hard because we had to describe what a pagoda was to the teacher before we started out art.
