Choose Your Culture,Treat It Four Ways

I was learning about the elements and techniques of painting.

My goal was to share my  cultural identities through the arts.

I selected New Zealand as my culture that I was going to paint.

I researched the icons of New Zealand.I chose to paint pounamu/greenstone 

because it represents the Maori culture.

I then learnt about Andy Warhol and his style of art.In his art he chose popular

icons and painted it different ways.He once said. "The rules of art are made

to be broken.His artwork was different because he used bright colours.

I was taught about colour types like.

Primary- Red,yellow and blue.

Secondary- Orange,green and purple.

Complimentary- Green and red, orange and blue, yellow and purple.

monochromatic- different colour shades.

Analogous- colours opposite each other on the colour wheel.

I drew my final design onto an A4 piece of paper and traced it onto a piece of A2
paper four times in a quadrant formation.

Then I chose the colours I was going to use.I chose.

Quadrant one-Complementary-Red and green.

Quadrant two-Monochromatic-Three yellow shades.

Quadrant three-Black and White I did it with a red backround.

Quadrant four- Analogous- light,normal blue and purple.

to finish it off I added some black  in vivid to outline my painting and
I used black paint to separate my quadrants.

I feel like i achieved relational on my rubrik because I feel my lines and tones were done to a high standard.

Breaking my toe

This week we were learning how to hook the reader in, this is my recount about breaking my toe.

                     Breaking my toe

Swoosh! Went the covers as I awoke from my slumber."I'm ready for my first day of school!" I yelled enthusiastically. I woke up at around 7:00 am.Then I got into my school uniform and went into the lounge.

Clash,bang!Went the pots and pans.It sounded like a nuclear bomb had just exploded.my sister had just woken up and we were banging pots and pans like there was no tomorrow.Crack!It just had to be the heaviest pot in the kitchen that I dropped on my toe.''Waaaaaa.''I screamed.I still went to school but a week later i went to hospital.

When I went to hospital my toe was black and swollen. It felt like I was waiting forever.When they finally called me i had to go to another waiting room.A hour later I got to get my x-ray.When i got out they told me my toe was broken.Then I had to go home.

About two days after I returned home I tripped and lost my nail.I tried to get my mums attention because I was bleeding really bad.She said I had to wait for my nail to grow back. For about an hour after that anywhere I went I left a trail a blood.

That is my recount hope you enjoyed :)

Think box

Today in class we used thinkbox. Thinkbox has three parts skill tools and strategies. There is also five places to compare skills tools and strategies.These are the five options evaluation,synthesis,analysis,knowledge and comprehension and information.I used knowledge and comprehension,skill:identify tool:crayon and strategy symbolising.

Calendar art

I like my calendar because it appears 3D but it is an optical illusion so it is actually 2D.

Writing what so what now what

What?walt write an instructional text.

So what ? I learned to create a clear text so the reader can understand.

Now what.? To make my instructions more advanced.

Junk can be funk

This is my storage case. With this you can put things into it for later. 

What so what and now what

What use the information provided to create a set of instructions.

So what I learned to take given part if a set of instructions to complete the parts the description missed.

Now what to think more deeply into the text to make the part missed more precise.
