Hello Readers,
Today's Task with the Summer Learning Journey Programme is "Top Secret Street Art" For this activity, take a look at the Christchurch street art website and choose two different pieces of artwork. Look carefully at both pieces of art, and identify similarities and differences between the two. On your blog, post screenshots of the two different pieces of art that you have chosen. Below the pictures tell us about the similarities and differences that you see in the two pieces of street art. What is your favourite street art in Christchurch?
Christchurch Street Art
These are the two beautiful street art animals that I have chosen. The first similarity I see between these two images is that they both are with their families with each other. The next similarity is that they are both animals. Now for the differences, for the first difference I see between the two is that they are both incorporated with different colours. The wolf/fox has a nice turquoise colour on each of the faces, the background of the wall is black and has dark blue clouds, colourful leaves (Purple, blue and white) and orange, red and pink spots. Next with the elephant, they are a dark and a light grey shade and have nice strokes on the nose, feet and face/head to give it more effect. The last difference by the two images is the wold/fox are facing each other in opposite directions and with the elephants they are all walking elegantly together as a family.
Kia Ora Bella,
ReplyDeleteYou’ve chosen some amazing Christchurch street art and I’m so impressed by your taste. I like similar paintings, and appreciate the ones you have chosen. I like that both feature animals, and I really like how you have explained the differences between the two artworks by summarising key features of each in an incredibly aesthetic way. You’ve done a stellar job.
I live in Dunedin and we have lots of street art too. It’s so nice to see it in random places as it breaks up the boring walls and adds a bit of spark to the city. I think the coolest part is people put their creations in obscure or hidden places so finding them is a bit like going on a treasure hunt! My favourite one in Dunedin is of a little boy and girl on a park bench with the boy giving the girl a flower. It uses so many bright colours and is painted on a massive building right in the middle of town. It’s utterly beautiful.
If you had to draw a piece of street art, what would you draw? I think I’d do a flowery mural with lots of bright colours and contrasts to make the city brighter.
Happy blogging,
