Art

 This term for Art we have been looking at different types of ways to use watercolour we had to try and practise different techniques on a piece of paper. 

One of the techniques was dilution which is just adding water to paint which is what we had to do to start our water painting. Next we had to try Glazing which is like putting a thin line of paint over another thin like of paint. After that we had to try Layering which is like applying a premixed colour over another wash to change its intesitity. Next was value or tone which is the range from light to dark of a colour to determine shadows and highlights of an object. Next is Intensity which is a colour's saturation brightness or strength. Next is Tint which is created by adding water to  the orignal colour and like the more water added would make the colour weaker and less intense. Next is Movement which is the effect you get when you let the water move around the pigment on the page. Next is water into colour which is when you use water to mix the paint on a palette then onto paper. Next is Colour into water which is where you paint the page with water first then add colour into it and the paint only goes wherever the water is. 

A few weeks later we just got given a piece of paper and practised drawing different flowers with watercolour for the next few weeks we just practised drawing different flowers with different watercolour techniques. Heres a picture of my peice of paper but I didn't get to try every different technique so I only have a few on my paper. I know the flower is horrible but here it is.

The Empty Pot

 Today for Hurumanu 2 we had to listen to a story titled 'The empty pot' it was an online story and it was about a town that got given a seed they had to grow and whoever grew theirs the best got to be the new emperor but everyone could grow their flowers except for Ping and so he brought his empty pot with no flower to the emperor and he shown got given the role of he emporer because everybody else faked their flowers as the seeds were cooked so it was impossible for them to grow and the emporer knew Ping was telling the truth. We had to answer questions about it and then make a word search including some of the words from the story. Here are my questions and the word find I made.

Olympics

For the past few weeks in hurumanu we have been learning about the olympics. I worked in a 3 and we had to make a slideshow showing 5 people who competed since we worked n a 3 we done 15 athletes. We had multiple questions we had to answer about the people - they were all from NZ. All the information is on the slideshow here. :)

Van Gogh Art.

 Today for Art we learnt about Van Gogh and his impasto painting we had to answer a few questions about the painting technique and about Van Gogh. I learnt more about how you can show your emotions in a painting and other stuff.

Olympics

 For Hurumanu 2 today we worked on Olympics we had a few pages of writing including answers and more text about the Olympics and we had to figure out the answer to some of the questions. Here is my writing.

Getting lit on fire.

Yesterday in science we were able to light out hands on fire. The first thing we done was everybody took their jackets off and tied there hair up. Then we lined up with safety googles and wet our arms and hands when it was our turn we had to scoop up some of the bubbles and go over to the spot on the floor that had a green towel on it in case anything dripped. The teacher put his lighter under the bubbles and we had our arms extended out as much as we could away from our face. When he lit us on fire we slowly turned our hands facing outwards so we are like stopping it when it got to hot for us we turned our hands out so the water didn't evaporate and start burning our skin. I will update this blog when I get photos.
