Painting the Town

 

So for today and yesterday, we have been doing work on the graffiti arts in Christchurch. We have been looking at the meaning behind all of them and what inspired the artists to choose that specific thing. Some of these questions were easy but others were really hard and made you think about them for a while. I especially liked doing number 4 because it was probably the easiest and it made sense the most. I found it challenging to do number 3 because I didn't really have much to say about it. I probably could have been BTB (Better Than Before) by adding a bit more information and explain what its about more but otherwise its good for now.

My self portrait

For the past few weeks, we have been making self-portraits of ourselves using only the tool called polyline. It has been so challenging but definitely heaps of fun. In my own time at home, I have been making heaps of these and I most enjoy doing the hair although it's also the most challenging thing. I probably could do with a new nose but that's alright. Try it and you will be wowed at how much fun you have.

Waka art

WALT find symbols that represent our family's history. My first symbol is the thistle which represents that I have some Scottish in me. My next symbol is waves because me and my family surf. My next three symbols are a rugby ball a surfboard and a no plastic bag sign. The rugby ball is because I play rugby and I also surf and I care about the environment a lot. The next symbol is an English symbol to show I have English in me. The next to symbols is the fish hook and a Maori symbol that means family and these both show that I have Maori in me and I love my family. I found it really challenging finding out the information about my family. I enjoyed finding out about my family history even though it was challenging. I think I could be BTB (better than before) by adding more symbols

Comic writing

This is my plan for my comic. Sadly I did not finish.

Wiki o Matariki

We have been learning about Matariki. We have done lots of different things including making stars, doing plays, making a story map and making a thing where it looks like we are reaching out to the stars.
My favorite thing that we have done so far is the play. We get to act out different characters and run around. I was the Grandma who told the kids that a star has been stolen and that we need to find it.
