My Texture Landscape Art

Calendar Art

I like my calender art because it is something that looks realistic and interesting.

I also like it because it makes me feel like i'm outside in the open.

This has probably been my best calendar art so far so I am pretty proud of my art.  

We learnt to do the texture landscape art and do different patterns.

I am blogging this because I think I did a great job!

Rowan AKA MUM By Tessa

Intro

If you come to our house you will see that my mum will make you feel welcome anytime she likes. My Mum also always has a nice friendly face that makes her somehow feel very special. She is kind and chatty and never really in a bad mood. She has a laugh and a giggle whenever you tell her a funny joke or do a prank. She is a very fashionable lady and always likes to be well dressed for everybody who sees her.

Physical

How she looks is simple, she is a very casual but a classic woman and she really only has two styles: One for round work and meetings, and one for round town and home. To start off she has short dark brown curly hair with highlights of light brown and black. She has a lot of sunburnt skin but also nice tan skin. She has greenish yellowish eyes with dark black eyelashes.

She wears dressy tops for work with stockings and black boots. But for home and town she wears dressy singlets with shorts or a skirt with sandals and a hat. Her legs are short because my mum is a very short lady, But she also has very tan legs. She also wears earrings with necklaces and bracelets, and sunglasses if it's sunny.

Traits

That way I think she is a fashionable moviestar because she always dresses the nicest. She is very casual sometimes, that means she isn't always the best at things. She is kind and always has a smile on her dial. My mum is the funnest person I have ever met and I don't think she has ever been selfish to anyone. She is a crazy and interesting person to meet. She's generous and supportive to me and my family and to anyone else that comes along.

She has time for others and she is very helpful and active. My mum is extremely friendly and always gives a high five when you need one. She is the luckiest Mum that I know and she will always be there when you feel left out or sad. The best thing about her is that she is a laugh and she is a great Mum!

Actions

My Mum amazes me everyday I'm with her. She makes the funniest jokes and dances around me. Also she makes every moment a great moment as my mum! My Mum would never be afraid to do anything that she wanted to do. She makes me laugh at something that usually isn't funny. My mum learnt the simple things in life and she makes every time with my mum worth it!

Ending

My mum is the best person you would ever have seen, and now that you know a bit about her you will also know that she is the best mum that you would ever know and she will make you feel welcome anytime you come to our place. And that is a bit about my mum and I love her just the way she is!

Holiday Blog post

                       Holiday Blog post

I looked up at the massive 3d print of a human from World War One. There was gunshots and blood, cuts and blisters/bruises. Everywhere there were people sick and most people were half sliced and shot. It was really sad looking at the information on the wall of the exhibition at Te papa. One thing I didn't know was how little water they got each day. It was just a little drink bottle for Dishes, Washing, Drinking, and for food. When now in our world we use drink bottles for just drinking, and we use showers and bathtubs for washing. It is seriously ridiculous on how much water we use these days. When than in world war one they couldn't afford to tip water out. There was about 6-7 different 3d prints of people from world war one. There were also Huge I pads that you could read information on too. When we got to the end of the exhibition there was this table full of poppy making and Anzac arts and crafts. So we did a few poppy making and put our poppies we made on the least we forget sign with other people's poppies all around it. When we got out we drove home and started making a roast for tea. Once we had dinner I started getting ready for bed because it was late. But when I was getting ready for bed I started to think how lucky people are now, compared to how people were in world war one.

I am blogging this because: I think me and Georgia did a really good job and we enjoyed doing it.

We were learning to: Work together and make a video to show our understanding of a part of the story. 

For our reading group we had to pear up with a buddy and use whatever thing we wanted to make. For an example a comic, Video or animation.

So I paired up with Georgia and we used puppet pals to make a video. If you would like to watch our video about Maui and the Jawbone click on the link bellow.
