Diary Post 6

Around these times it's almost the end of the term 2 and I am quite happy that I don't have to do anymore work so now we had to do lots of things like planning speeches, reading the green book and doing art about the solar system.

For the art solar system we have been paper mashe which was when we get a item of the shape then glue lots of ripped strips of paper on to it to make a thing, my group is making Mars.

I am really looking forward reading the green book because so far it is really cool, basically a group of refugees go to a new planet because earth was gonna get destroyed but when they land on the new planet they face a new problem...

Speeches... (Sad face) one of my least favorite things, so for speeches I am gonna write about older siblings cause my brother is really annoying cause he always deletes my games and maybe he will delete some games in the weekends... Who knows.

Holiday AD

Last term we made ad of what we want to do for the holidays and this is the one me and Cameron.
We used a help from a "special" happy customer a.k.a a person in our class, it took us a while cause there was a technical difficulty where we couldn't record but it was fixed.
It was tricky to fix the technical problem
It was easy to make the animation

Dairy Post 5

In the last couple of weeks we have been doing lots of new things a agamographs, netball, SDL-Self Directed Learning, Terrific Tuesday and last but not least Agamographs.

Terrific Tuesday was when we chose a activity from a bunch of different ones and we chose what we wanted the most and what we wanted the least, I chose board games as my first choice and I got it! The First activity we did was a game called sequence which we played for the first 2 weeks, on the third week we played monopoly which was really fun because some people was really poor from buying too much stuff that they couldn't afford anything else so when a person landed on one of the best squares and they couldn't afford it. I just paied for it instead so they could have the building and I also didn't take the money back and just let them keep it. I missed week 4 because I was a netball field day which was really fun and for the rest of the weeks I played twister with some other people (friends) which was really funny.

Agamographs was when we made two pictures that was the opposite of the other one (except Quinn) who had a plus sign meaning combining to things and he made a Narwhal! He did unicorn plus Dolphin which made a Narwhal, anyway in the end both pictures had something similar or the same. If you looked at it from the right it would look like a picture, for example cookies and if you looked on the other side you might see a 800g bag of flour. I drew both the flour and cookies was to make my one. It was really fun because some of the art was funny, wierd and just plain original!  People thought mine was funny so I was pleased with that.

I think week nine or week eight is the last day of terrific Tuesday which is sad. So anyway it's almost school holidays at least, maybe something fun will happen ^_^ .

Grid Value Portrait

WAL about the values in art -> how light or dark something is.
We were inspired by Chuck Close who made lots of grid value arts, he had a very unlucky childhood, his father died when Chuck was 11 and his mother developed breast cancer.

First we did a "thing" called taking a line for a walk which was when we did lots of squiggles making lots of circles and stuff like that than we added patterns in them by spreading the patterns apart or close together. We also made it look bigger or smaller depending on the size of the patterns.

Than we took a picture and printed them out black and white, after that we used our ruler to rule out squares on the picture which we would use on a enlarged paper.

The last part was we had to do was to think of some patterns or take a.k.a borrow some patterns from someone else to use for our pictures and we have to use it to fill some/lot's of squares with patterns forming a picture of the photo we took.

It was tricky to do the body parts like the eyes, ears and noes.
It was easy to put patterns in the blank spaces since there were no parts of the body in the way.
