This is My Anzac Comic Life War Poster. By Fine

Hi my name is Fine and this is my ANZAC Comic Life War Poster. I worked with my classmate partner Samantha. For the whole term we have been learning about different kinds of  wars like : WW1, WW2, Treaty of Waitaingi and etc. Samantha and I had to put down all sorts of information, put it onto a Comic Life Poster and decorate it. We were really happy with the end results and we hope you like it too. If you like it too copy and paste this link to see more posters : http://creativevoicepbs.blogspot.co.nz/ or leave some comments. Thank you.

Critiquing somebody else's Artwork. By Fine

Reviewing Somebody Else’s Artwork

Have a look at the artwork’s in classroom.

Choose one which is your favourite to critique.

Please be honest, don’t just choose your best friend’s for friendship sake, choose someone’s artwork that shows quality, contrast, boldness and originality

Whose artwork do you like the most?

I like San Tat’s the most.

Why did you choose this person’s artwork?

Because his artwork looks like him and he used contrasting colours.

What would you do next time to ensure your artwork is just as good?

I think I would have an up close photo.

If you were going to give this person a rating out of ten what would you give it and why?

a 10 / 10 because his artwork looks like him, there are no smudges, the colours are contrasting colours and he has dyed inside the lines.

My Andy Warhol artwork. By Fine.

This is my Andy Warhol artwork. For the past 2 weeks we have been learning about Andy Warhol in artwork. We had to take a picture, trace the picture onto a piece of paper, Outline it with a vivid and finally dab a variety of dyes onto your artwork. Then you have to cut all of the 4 papers evenly and mount it onto a black piece of cardboard to give that colourful look. I hope you like my artwork and leave comments too. Thank You.

My War Timeline. By Fine

This is my War Timeline. This week and last week Miss Paton told us that we had to make a War Timeline. My War Timeline is based on ANZAC. It shows from when the ANZAC war started to when it ended. I hope you learn more from my War Timeline and leave comments. Thank You.

My reflection on my artwork.

Reflecting on my Andy Warhol themed portrait

1. Are you pleased with your Andy Warhol themed portrait? why / why not?

Yes I am because I put a lot of effort into my artwork.

2. What did you find easy when you created your portrait?

I found tracing my picture with vivid easy because I knew where to trace.

3. What part did you find tricky when you were creating your portrait? -think about tracing round your face, outlining your face using a black marker pen, dabbing areas using the dye, dying the background.

I found tracing my face with a pencil onto my paper hard because I had to go really hard and my pencil broke a number of times.

4. Who / What helped you when you were creating your portrait?

Miss Paton helped me because she showed me the steps to make an Andy Warhol artwork.

5. What would you do differently next time? Think about: tracing around your face, features on your face, dabbing the dye colours, colour choice, photograph, time management skills.

I would choose my colours differently because I wanted a variety of colours.

6. What frustrated you when you created your Andy Warhol themed artwork?

I think what frustrated me was dabbing my artwork with a cotton bud and making no smudges. I had to dab within the lines and had to wait for each segment to be dried thoroughly before I could apply the next colour.

Dance.

This week in dance we had to act like we were in the story of sleeping Beauty. My partner was Angel. Angel and I had to become Malecifent and Prince Philip. I was Malecifent and Angel was Prince Philip. At the end the whole classroom had to get into a circle and show there work.

Dance.

This is what room 5  did for dance this week. We all were given a letter. Angel was A, I was B , Caitlin was C and Yvette was D. A (Angel) had to do an open pose then B (me) had to go through, under or around and it kept on going.

My Time at Eastern Beach. By Fine

My time at Eastern Beach.

It was a shivering morning, the wind was blowing and the trees were swaying. It was our school’s annual picnic. We departed school at 9:15 am. When we walked up to the driveway there were three buses waiting to be filled with children. My classroom went on the first bus but we had to share with the juniors.

In the bus we were squashed just like sardines in a can but we didn't care about that , we mostly cared about arriving at Eastern Beach. Finally we were at the one and only Eastern Beach. The juniors were jumping out of their seats ready to get out of the bus. But Room 5 went out of the bus first.

We had to walk in a line like a caterpillar past the car park into the field. We sat down in a neat row, listening to Mr Johnston’s safety instructions. Finally we were allowed to play with the sport equipment. First I played volleyball with most of the girls.

THWACK!, Shantay made an awesome spike, unfortunately she was the other team. It was Angel, Caitlin, Mere, Latisha and me on one side and Shantay, Lavinia, Halatoa and Christopher. But sometimes I didn't know who was on whose team because they would always swap sides.

“There are still some more apples left” Mr. Johnston said through the speaker-phone. I went to the tent where the apples were. I picked one up, bit into it. UGH! no wonder why no one was eating any apples they were sour.

“ Room 5 & 7 are allowed to swim” Mr Johnston said  through his speaker phone. Luckily I was already in my swimming gear. I slowly walked into the beach. Oh man! I got wet from people splashing water onto me.

Its now or never I thought to myself. I dived into the water it was freezing cold, it was like I was in the ice age. I finally got use to the water.

Everyone was getting on each others shoulders and having wars. It was really fun but then I got cold so I went to shore and changed into my dry clothes. Then Mr Johnston said “Everyone came back we are going home soon”.

Everyone came out and started getting changed. Some people had to pick up rubbish before we left Eastern Beach, I was one of those people. All the classrooms lined up and went into there buses.

Ah!! home time. I thought if maybe next when I become year 7 I will kayak. How exciting.
