Art Exhibition QR Code

Hi everyone, this week I chose to blog my QR code. What is a QR code your saying? Well if you have the QR code app on your phone, tablet, ipad or ipod you can scan my code and it will take you to my voice recording describing my description. The reason why I am blogging this is because I am really excited about my art and I want to share the excitement with you!

If you would like to make a QR code here is the link to make one.

Here is the description I was saying in the QR code.

My art is called Tree Seasons. It is 4 small canvases that have a tree spreading throughout all the seasons. The tree is a blossom tree and I love the colour of the flowers so that represents me. I chose this piece of art because it was challenging for me and I liked the look of it. The process of making it was a long process, I had to blend my canvases, draw my tree, Paint my tree and paint my leaves with cotton buds. There were tricky bits of that process. One of them was blending the colours. I had heaps of challenges during the time I made the art, especially when I messed up and I had to wipe the paint of my canvas. Some of the background rubbed off to so then I had to remake the same colour. That was hard!! One of my special features was having 4 different canvases which made my art easy to split into 4 pieces.

I am really proud of my art because I took great care with it.

Matariki

I am blogging this because I love my poster and the rest of the work I have done.
I am proud of this because the way the poster came out was really great.

Success Criteria:

• explains what the workshop was all about
• shows why and how you enjoyed it (personal voice)
• shares what you learnt
• includes a photo of the activity (hopefully with you in it)
• has that something extra special (e.g. instructions on how you could do the activity too)

Sewing was really fun because I got to do something that I have never done before. We got to make these denim wall hangings that were all different colours. We learnt to hand stitch some stars and do a special knot.  My wall hanging looks really cool and I got to have one of the best experiences yet. I felt really nervous when I went to sew because just before Mrs Beswick said that it really hurt when you sew your finger. My sewing machine was a bit old so it was hard to go slow and steady. It took me a while to get the hang of it but I got there in the end. We ironed the boat on and ironed the stars on as well. I found it amazing how I got to spend a day doing something really cool.

Success Criteria:

• in your own words
• summarises main ideas about Matariki
• clear and easy to understand
• has the creative “x factor”

This is my poster

Maths

This week we had to do a really hard maths task. It was all about people that biked around and island for 5 days. Sophia, kyra and I had to work together to figure out where they would go each week. We also had to figure out the kilometers they biked.

My Descriptive writing

This week for writing we had to choose a scene and describe it from top to bottom. We had to use strong adjectives, different sentence starters and a simile.

I turn around and in front of my eyes I see the most amazing scene. The frosty mist hovering over the shiny lake is such a beautiful sight. Trees in the distance are drooping above the mist almost creating a tunnel. From behind the old bridge the sunrise is creeping up. It has the most magnificent colours. The bridge has three semi-circles underneath it. On the top it has fences on the side that would keep the cars from falling off it. Ripples in the lake are from the 2 ducks happily swimming around. At the front of the scene there are three lonely wooden poles standing up straight like a statue. The poles have reflections on the top of the water.   

Christchurch Art

This is my Christchurch art that is supposed to make people happy. It is good for Christchurch because it will brighten up the town. I made it with newspaper, dye, pastel and vivid. This is my favourite quote.

Rock climbing

"Wow," I yell as I glaze up at the tall rock climbing walls.  I gave it a go and didn't make it to the top until I got to dad. I was so proud of myself. The next wall, the next wall and the next wall I made it, but when I came to Mrs Roil's wall it was hard, but I kept trying until we had to go. I had fun and wanted to do it for my birthday. What a great day!
