Art Colouring Book - Step it up Challenge

 LI: To use TEEL paragraphs to explain our colour choice

   

Last week I completed the Step it Up art challenge from the Summer Learning Journey activities. The purpose of this task was to explain our colour choice using the language and vocabulary we learnt from watching the information video. I used the TEEL paragraph structure to help me explaian my thinking. Then we were learning about the elements of art the elements of art are Line,Shape,Form,Space,Color,value,And Texture. I have learnt that a person cannot create art without using at least one of these elements. Line a line can be straight or wavy fine or bold sometimes if you put lines together you can make shapes. Shapes can be geometric like for example squares circle  and triangles or natural like trees sea shells they can be two dimensional or flat  like a pencil marker on  paper or they can be free dimensional like a sculpture when something is freed dimensional it has form. Objects  with form take up space or at least take up space. Space is the distance or area between around above or within things it can be the area that has been taken out by the object or it can be the area around the object. Color can often show us space color is the most expressive element of art. I used a lot of these aliments when i do art like how it says that color is the most expressive element of art like for example sometimes i express my feelings when i color if i'm in like a  good mood and im doing art there is a most likely chance that most of the colors are going to be a litter color same thing goes when i'm sad and i'm doing art it is most likely that most of my colors will be darker. Doing this activity was a fin and cool thing one of the things I liked about this is that we got to choose what picture or portrait we wanted to do and that we could use what color we wanted and not always had to copy the same colors of the picture or portrait.

Art Coloring Book

 LI: To experiment with colors

This picture is called the siesta by Paul Gauguin.

This morning we tried one of this year’s Kick Start Summer Learning Journey activities. The purpose of this task was to experiment with colors by mixing colors from the original palette with pop colors. This allowed us to recolors famous painting or images of landmarks around the world. This was a fun and cool activity i like how we got to choose what ever colors we wanted to use on the picture as you can see the picture that is on the left is the original picture and on the right is the picture maid.

Te Whanau Raukura Performance

 

Today we were visited by the Te Whanau Raukura. The Te Whanau Raukura is a kapa haka group they performed for us and told us that they had a taiaha, poi and a te rakau and they used them to explain the meaning behind elements of the Maori culture.After that they split up and came to a class each and in there classes they were playing a game with us the the teacher that was in our class was Mrs Bekah

she told us how to play this game could pukana. How you play this game is you get in a round circle and if one person says pukana to you you say it back to them or to the next person next to you if the person that says pukana to you and his or her hand is not facing you you do not say pukana back to her or he. It was a wonderful and nice performance.

Provocation: Should masks be compulsory on NZ public transport?

LI: To identify and consider the two perspectives of this provocation to help me form an opinion.

Today we made a provocation DLO. A provocation is an action or speech that triggers strong feelings about a topic. Today we considered both sides of the provocation which is the YES and the NO our provocation was Should masks be compulsory on NZ public transport?’ We then used that information to help us form an opinion that we were all happy with our decision. Our opinion was a Yes and No because there are some reasons for why we need to wear a mask and there are some reasons why we shouldn’t wear one. Both Yes and No reasons are equally important. We need to stay safe and away from the Covid 19 and other diseases.

Main Idea/Embarrassment

 L.I To find out the main idea 

This DLO is about the Main Ideas in the book this book is called the Embarrassment poem. I worked with Makaili,Hosea,Liletina and  Rj. We needed to read the book twice to find out the main details that will help others and yourself understand the main Idea. As you can see in this DLO that we think that the MAIN IDEA is knowing how to handle Embarrassment. Working with my friends was really fun and enjoying because we shared our ideas and we were collaborating,working as a team. The thing that i liked about this poem is how it tell us the secret to not be embarrassment like for an example you can jest laugh

it all out till the people that is laughing at you has left.

Math Challenge

  LI:To learn about math and weight     

                                                                                                                                                     This week we were put into groups for math In these groups we made up names that  represent math or includes math names  , our name that we chose for our group  was The multiplying 7’s because we had seven people in our group and we were supposed to multiply our questions we were given . In the multiplying 7’s were Victoria our leader Giovanni,Makaili,Lily,Karlos , Ong  and me , we put all of our opinions together to come with different solutions to solve our challenges and we would have to ask questions if we didn't understand the question or ask for help because no one should have sat in silence because we are a team and we are all  supposed participate so we all can have friendship even though we haven't worked together but we  did make a big difference and we worked as a good team whether we liked  working together or not this activity was a good challenge for not only me but also my group .
