Calendar art!

In my school every year in every class we do something called calendar art were every class makes some very cool art and when there finished our parents can bye them as a calendar,sketchbook,mouse pad and more. For our class is was also sort of based on our maths to, geometric shapes. And with our geometric shapes we put them into NZ native birds . This was a long process of drawing ,colouring ,dying and gluing pieces of crate paper on them. My favorite bit for this was choosing the native bird I chose a weka. The hardest part for me was drawing all the triangles into the bird and shading the colours but other then that I found it all easy and hope to do it again. Please comment your favorite NZ native bird. Matewa!

Rongora

 This week for our shared reading we have been learning about maori medicinal plants. For this activity we have to read a few books about many medical plants. it wasn't long before most of us started our create. for our create we had to make a sign with a barcode (witch was optional) with some fact of there chosen plant on it there were at least  10 there to choose from  Because there were so many to choose from I had a hard time deciding. But over my decision was Manuka becuase it smells nice and when you think about it It's actually really helpful. I really enjoyed painting the sign but next time I would try a different plant becuase why not try find facts for all of them.

Portrait art

This week for our art. We were doing a very hard sort of art , Portrait art. Before we actually started our art my teacher showed us some of the art she made which looked very good. To start off with, we had to take a photo and trace the lines with a sharpie very carefully. Then this is what I thought was the hardest part was mixing colours to match your skin colour and this was the learning focus and what I thought was the hardest part. When we mixed the all the colours together the colours we used was yellow white and red and If you had a darker skin colour you would use a little bit of black. My favourite bit for this art was sketching the out lines on my shirt, face and hair. Please comment what you liked about my house  and if you think I got close to my actual face.

My 2021 Achievements

 Lots of the learning we have been doing this week has been on Canva. Before we did the fun bit of the task we were learning some cool tricks that you could use on your presentation like shaping your video and lots more.when we started on our slides  We have to choose a video template or we wouldn't have been able to put our starting video on there.

Onto our creation, for it we had to make three slides to fit three school achievements on it. Each slide had to look cool and the pictures had to relate to your achievements. I Liked this activity a lot because all the pictures on canva make you want to replay the slide show over and over again. But when it came to writing all the subheadings they slowed me down a bit. if or when you comment, add what you think I did well with my presentation and  what you liked about it.
