Kowhaiwhai patterns

Today at Enrich we finished of our Kowhaiwhai patterns. A Kowhaiwhai pattern is a Maori type of art. A Kowhaiwhai pattern has to be symmetrical. In a Kowhaiwhai pattern there is only three colours black red and white.To start I had to use a French curve to sketch out the pattern. Then I went over it really hard and then we sat it on a board and did it hard again and it showed up on the board then we painted it and finally I went around it in vivid. I had a great time learning how to make a Kowhaiwhai pattern. Darryn gave me a lot of good advice.

Sketch up

Today for canstruction we started the blueprint for the Highlanders on Sketch up. It was very frustrating to make the cans where they were meant to be which was in a straight line 24 cans across and 16 cans up.  Once I had done that I had to paint it the right colors.

Stone carving

Today in passion time I worked on my carving again and it is really starting to look like a dinosaurs head. I also did a pick about the solar flares and I learnt that the sun spot that makes these flares is 12 times bigger than the whole Earth!!

Passion Project

Today at Enrich we started passion time. Passion time is something that we want to learn more about. My passion is Stone Carving. I made a T rex head but I did not finish it. Bruno made a Smurf  head, Jordan made a koru pattern and Conor made the same thing as Jordan and Hamish also made the same.

Field trip

Today at Enrich we went to the museum. We looked at the wearable arts there was a part that had ultraviolet lights - anything white glowed ! My favourite dress was a Maori leather dress it won the competition. I enjoyed my time while it lasted.

Lying

Today at Enrich we did P4c it was all about lying. We decided that there is no way to justify lying. You also can not lie to yourself. Now I know lying is not necessary. One of the 6 questions was if you would steal a cookie before tea and your mom comes home in a foul mood would you tell her the truth? Or lie and say you hadn't eaten a cookie?  I would tell the truth!

Last Day of Enrich

Today at Enrich we filled in a learning wheel.  This is a sheet that helps you to look back on all the things you have done for the term.  Here is my learning wheel:
