T3W7 | Marketing Cat-Soph-a-licious

Hey hey :)

This is my homework I did in Week 7, It had to be on,  if you were to market yourself What would your packaging look like? What would your catchy product title be? What would it say on the box?

Think about the types of packaging you have seen on other products. Think about colour, slogans etc

And me and my friends Sophia decided to do our homework together :) I came up with the name Cat-Soph-a-licious!! We worked really hard and attempted to make it real but homework was due on FRIDAY but we decided to do it on THURSDAY so we just canned it and maybe we could do it next time! I had lots of fun and it would be awesome to do homework like that again :)

T3W5 | NZ Longfin Eel

This is my other homework for this week! I tried to find something unique that nobody in class would choose the same thing as me! It was really hard trying to find information because maybe Longfin Eels aren't that popular on the web? I animated it cause it's also a new I learnt! But anyways, ENJOY!

T3W5 | Sea Otters

For this weeks homework I had to research about a marine sea creature and I choose 2 sea otter & NZ Longfin Eel but this post is the sea otter! I choose this creature because I was just surfing the web and I came across a website and it had all the cute and furry friends :) The sea otter had caught my eye and I decided to do it on sea otters! It was actually quite easy because we have done this homework before and I have definitely improved

I hope I didn't bore the life out of you!

Japan H/W W4 T3

Japan! On the 15/08/13 we had Japanese students from Hoshino Gakuen Primary School come to our school. So the week before that Mrs G (teacher) knew so our homework task was to research JAPAN! I did a lot of research and here is my finished product! I found it very easy because all the information I needed was there... Other researches from other countries were harder because the countries weren't as popular as Japan, Australia, China etc. The following Thursday the Japanese students arrived, I had a buddy she was kinda shy it was AWESOME!!

Monet Garden

Here is how you can create this masterpiece:

(requires lots of patience and skills such as sponging, sticky taping and using a paintbrush)

1. Draw the horizon line and the pond

2. Use masking tape to create the fence. Above or below or in the middle of the horizon line.

3. Use a sponge to sponge the grass. Using the colours yellow and green, Claude Monet never mixes colours together so try not to mix... and another great tip is to use the sponge as if you're making the sponge hop like a kangaroo!

4. Next you will need some cardboard, put a gulp of dark blue on the tip of the cardboard and then spread it out. Then you put a little bit of white on top of the blue to create the clouds. If you like you can add light blue too! And then drag it across and try not to go over it again and again...

5. Now it's time to do the bushes using green for the bushes and blue for the shadow. Use blue because Monet never uses black.

6. Next you paint the pond with a paintbrush with white and blue.

7.Lilly pads! We had to use a brush and the colours... Yellow, pink and red.

8. Then we did the dots of flowers with the end of the brush (the wooden bit) and dipped it in different types of colours. and dotted it on the bushes and grass

9 .Nearly done! Time to do the path, you can use any colour you want in any technique but I chose brown stepping stones using a sponge!

10. FINALLY!!! Carefully rip off the masking tape.. Be careful or it might rip the paper. (it depends on what masking tape you use) Like I didn't use very good masking tape so it make it have a textured effect. Which made it unique!

Above is my painting of Monet Garden, I found it really hard to sponge because whenever I push down the sponge there would be lines because if the sides of the sponge. I learnt that by pinching the 4 sides with your finger it can lift up the sides of the sponge and it won't leave anything on your nice paper. My favourite part was cardboard dragging the sky and putting the masking tape on to create the definite lines of the fences.

If you have any questions feel free to put them in the comment box...

Tonal Landscape

Mrs Paton (student teacher) was teaching Room 20 about tones of colours using paint and a paintbrush.  So we decided to do Tonal Landscapes. To create this a.m.a.z.i.n.g landscape you have to draw lines to create the landscapes, you can choose to put a silhouette or not. Next you get your base base which you paint in the middle.  After that you add white, paint, add white, paint etc until you get to the top of the paper. The last thing you want to do is do the exact same thing you did before but instead of using white, you have to use black.  This will create the effect that the blackest part is nearer to you.  

I found it hard to paint the silhouette because I couldn't get the curves of the bush the way I wanted it so what I did was try my best to just paint straight on.  And it turned out better than I expected. The easiest thing was adding the bits of white to make it lighter and adding the black to make it darker was a bit harder.

Overall I LOVED painting this landscape! Also a special thanks to Mrs Paton for helping and encouraging me to do my best and it turned out PERFECT!!!

THANK YOU MRS PATON :)

World Ocean Day Presentation

4 weeks ago, it was World Oceans Day! Our homework task was to tell people how we use the ocean, what if future generations couldn't do that, promises etc. It was sooo fun because it was the first time using 'Google Presentations' I thouhgt it would be hard but it was soooooo easy! We found out about this place called Midway Attol which is located just north of Hawaii and that is the place where ALL of our rubbish is going and birds and sea life is dieing :( I has to do alot of research and below is a website that helped me find my facts/ideas and there is lots of information about Worlds Ocean Day :)
