Abstract Art.

 Hello readers today I'm going to be making a new blog post about Art. We have been learning about abstract art. Abstract art doesn't represent anything in reality but it might represent how you feel. What I have learnt on abstract art was, texture, cross hatching, drawing lines and drawing geometrical shapes. I think that abstract art is really fun because you are letting your feelings out and drawing or painting it. Please comment on my blog post and give me some feedback about my writing.

Abstract Art.

 Hello readers today we have been learning about abstract art, abstract art are arts that means a lot but doesn't look like anything else you've seen. Some kinds of abstract arts are painting or drawing things about what you feel. We watched a video about abstract arts, the arts we're made by famous artists. But it didn't look that great. But when we knew the story about abstract art we we're amazed. My favourite part was colouring in my drawing. An advice that I can give you about abstract art is closing your eyes and try to draw what you feel.  Here is what I did:


 This is about hot and cold.
This is art about, aroha, growth and fear.

Please comment on my blog post and give me some feedback about writing. Do you think abstract art is interesting?.

Fast Finisher Tasks

Hello readers, today I'm doing my fast finisher work. I need to do this Writing Activity: What does Max mean in Ch 5. (pg 18) when he says, “There’s a place I go inside my head sometimes.”  Why is he going to that place? I think he goes there after he sees Gwen, when he goes there it's cool and dim and you float like a cloud. He is thinking about her because he likes her.


Can you personally relate to what Max is talking about here? No. Why or why not? Because he is not talking properly and saying a lot of things like, cool, dim, floating. Fair Gwen went away and I think that he was just thinking about her. I thought this because it says on the books that "Max likes Fair Gwen"

Blackout Poetry blog.

 Hello readers today we were making a project about blackout poetry. Blackout poetry is when you circle the word that you want and cover everything else with black. We did our work with the newspapers, we circled the words that we want in our poem and covered everything with black on our second day we needed to design the work. This was  really hard because the words were not coming from us. Making a poem is really hard, but this is way harder. 

I did one about rugby and the lockdown. The supplies that we needed were colored paper, vivid, pen or pencil and newspaper. First step, you can find a subject that you are really interested in like rugby. The second step is looking for the words that you want in your poem. It needs to make sense, the third step is designing your work of what it is about.

I think I did really well on my first time, my feeling on this work was amazed because I didn't know that you can make such good poem by using a newspaper. Here is my work:

Market Day Blog Post.

 Hello readers today I'm going to be making a a blog post about market day, At first we had a brainstorm of what we are going to be selling. We thought of ice cream,  our plan b was selling hotdogs. We chose our jobs that we are going to be managing like being a financial manager, Boss or CEO of the team, marketing manager, and the production manager. I'm the financial manager and will be taking care of the money, I will be checking how much profit we make, how much did we spend to buy our stuff. The CEO of the team will be checking his groupmates if they are doing anything. Our CEO was Jesse Jones I think he had been a good CEO. Marketing manager is going to be taking care of the things that we need, like cones, ice creams and Oreos. 

MARKET DAY - We borrowed a table from our classroom to be our little company, we out all the things we need on the table. Market day started at 10:40 am, There was a lot of customers, in 15 minutes we already sold all of the ice cream, it was our first bucket. We had two buckets of ice cream because we thought that there was a lot of people going to buy it. Our ice cream was cheap, we sold it $1 a cone. On our second bucket there was a long line of HHS students that want to taste our cheap ice cream. In 5 minutes we sold out of them. We still a a lot of cones. We enjoyed the market day, we bought some food from the other companies and the we're good.
