Term One Week Eight

Welcome to a very short working week.
School camp begins, watch out Kai Iwi Lakes here we come!
The main consideration for us is progress with 3.3, Media and Process. This week we are completing our charts in which we compare, I repeat, COMPARE, each process.
In our lesson we'll also be looking at how to write those dreaded 500 words too for Task 3.
Ms Rogers and I will help you with that, don't stress Mattie.
Do remember, due date is next Tuesday (30.03.10) in your lesson, no exception.
So for the real learning......the stunningly beautiful Baptism of Christ by Piero della Francesca.
It's a real crowd pleaser, and surprisingly large for a tempera painting
(take note those who used it for their 3.3 study).
You need to make sure you understand about Piero's use of hamony and balance through the Golden Section in this work.
Also very significant, his use of Naturalism in the local landscape- a religious scene, but in Piero's back yard.
If we get any extra time we can begin to take a closer look at the famous double whammy - Duke and Duchess of Urbino - Big Nose and Battista.
