Visual art, yep.

 Hey guys!

So over the past few weeks, we have been making an abstract picture of an endemic animal for our art exhibition. And oh, you might ask, what endemic means? Endemic means that either a plant or animal is from a certain place, and is restricted in that place. And not anywhere else. Anyway, let's start with the process of the visual art. 

Here are the materials you need :
- Acrylic paint
- Paint brushes 
- A thick piece of paper
- Pencil
- Pen
- Art book
- Our device (chromebooks in this blog.)

1.The first thing we did was listing animals in our device, and more animals... 

2. Then we chose an animal (Mine is a bluegill bully, the animal type is an eel)

3. Find 4 photos of your animal. 

4. Choose one of the 4 photos for the 4th step and well, there you go! The decision-making steps are over. :D

5. And this is where the drawing and painting begins. We sketch some some pictures of our creature. 

6.Choose one of your drawings (maybe decision-making is not over yet.).

7. Prime the paper with white paint (coat the paper with the white paint).

8. Get a picture on a new Google drawing. You might notice on other blogs, they might say they had to try to copy their picture, on their art books.

9. Trace it with a scribble. Delete the photo.

10. Then mine got printed!

11. Repeat the step in step 9, but with a pen in the printed paper.

12. The fun part! We paint the animal.

13. Finish off the painting by disguising mistakes.

There you go! You're done! Maybe.


I like when we painted the animal, of course. But I had to paint over the paint outlines because we are supposed to have no outlines. If you know what I mean.

One thing I would change is that we could touch up our background with paintings relevant to the environment the animal lives in. Despite that, I love doing visual art.

    Hi there, my name is Rua and I am a student in room Manukau at Waikowhai Primary School. I really like the colours on
    your fish art. It made me think of when I did my fish art and I used bright colours . Have you thought about adding more information about the fish. If you would like to see my learning, my blog is http://http://wpsruat.blogspot.com/ blogspot.co.nz.

Hello. Why are you checking Karl's blog you naughty boy/girl? Oh, if you want to read Karl's blog, how about an answer to little riddle... 1.Most of the wonders and mysteries lie here. 2.I can feel the intense pressure anywhere. 3.It is a very dark, dangerous and cold place. 4.Things must depend on their own or/and other things around it. 5.It is an extensive place. 6. Lots of things that are impossible also lie here. JK! This week we are working on using descriptive language by sharing our writing straight onto our blog.  The challenge we have is to describe a place using only six sentences. After reading the description you need to guess the place that has been described. It would really help if you say what clues helped you come to this conclusion. Also, did you answer my riddle? Hmmm?

Persuasive writing

Hey! Read this because it will have all you wished for! Just kidding, but over couple of weeks we have been working for a pink beanbag (The best you will ever have). We had to use persuasive writing to convince people to buy it (We are not selling for real.). Then we used Google Drawing to advertise the "most amazing beanbag". Here is mine.

Maths Strand Creation Project

By Anonymous -

Hey there, to you visiting my blog. On Thursday, which was yesterday, my school was creating a model only with toothpicks and Plasticine / Modelling clay. The ground material was cardboard. This task was a maths project, making a model of a tent. What we had to do was stick toothpicks with Plasticine to make a tent and also make sure it's stable. There were some challenges, especially when it came to cubes. But the fun factor was when pyramids made it stable. When I was doing that task I learnt a lot because one thing I learned is that it is difficult to put toothpicks inside Plasticine with a rather small volume, while on the other hand Plasticine big in size would shake the toothpicks which have a smaller density than the Plasticine. The shapes that I made were cubes and pyramids with bases square and triangular shaped. Plasticine was my problem because I fastened the toothpicks with Plasticine randomly big and small. It worked better when I used even amounts of Plasticine. ...
