Last Day Reflection

Hi it's me again. Today at Enrich since it is the last day at Enrich for term two :(  we had to do two reflections today. One was where you think you are for blog posts and managing yourself at doing independent tasks. The other one was a sheet for thinking back on what we have done and learnt this term.

We sketched it out on active inspire we needed three colours yellow black and blue. There is 12 rows. Here is my plan and my active inspire sketch of it.

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!!
