Grace Clay Work shop

As we entered it looked like a rainbow was in here. They were lots of colours on the walls and on the saelens, But not paint shiny glass. We first got an apron put it on and then sat down.
Sue and Georgia told us the instructions. Then we got to work, some started their clayand some were still thinking. I started got my clay and got my kebab stick and cut out the sides.I cut my clay and rolled up the leftovers and got this glue made out of clay and water. First I did cross hatches on the clay around the edges then put the glue over. I went to the glass after doing my decorations inside. I put my shiny glass in the glay, Sue said that the glass will melt into the clay.           

What I do in the Morning

Claude Monet

Claude Monet was a french impressionist painter who enjoyed painting the same subject, landscape or cityscape. Each painting was captured a moment in time. In each season there was different colours in light.

Monet created a beautiful water garden at his home in Giverny and used it as his subject over and over again. He liked the way the water was constantly reflecting the world.

The painting of the japanese bridge show an arched  bridge crossing a pond. The pond also changes colours throughout the day or season. It is surrounded with trees and shrubs reflecting light of it surface.

Robert Delaunay

Robert Delaunay was a french painter along with his wife Sonia. He and his wife invented the orphism art form. He used vibrant colour and geometric shapes. He was also a writer of poems.

He liked to use vibrant colors that brings his art alive. He also used contrasting colours because he must of liked how it looked interesting. He also used geometric shapes for object or people in his art work.

In the painting of the tall portuguese woman, he painted a large leaf plant on the left hand side.
Each leaf  was used with contrasting colours. In the center of the picture he used circle as she was at work.  


This is my first attempt at creating a piece of art in the style of Robert Delaunay.

Flicking and Dripping

Just doing our work Mr Marks told us we will be doing art. What a exciting activity. We got our A3 paper and put it on a cardboard, I sellotaped my A3 paper onto my cardboard.

I grabbed a paintbrush and splattered it on my paper. What a mess but it was cool. Have you ever splattered paint on paper before?

I used contrasting colours it was very colourful. As soon as we could we flicked, splattered and we dribbled all the colors before we packed up.  

The artist we were inspired by was Jackson Pollock. He lived in America. He was married and he smoked and drank a lot. His wife’s name was Lee krasner. He died at 44 in a car crash at an early age. He was really passionate about his art.   

     

Could Creatures Live Without Rain

If there was no rain the sea creatures will be the only creatures alive. It is possible that the creatures that live on land would not survive without rain.

There are a few parts of the world where it  does not rain. In the desert plants and animals can not live there because it does not rain there.

Some people in the city get angry when it rains. They forget that farmers badly need to grow  grass and food. Also cattle needs water.


 

Grace swimming lessons

Getting ready to go to swimming we grabbed our bags and went. As we were walking I heard all the of our plastic bags while the wind was blowing. During while we were going there, I could already smell the chlorine near. As soon as we got there we went inside and I nearly slip on the slippery surface.

We tiptoed across to put our bags down. I went to go to take off my uniform and went to go and rines myself. Cold as an ice block I jumped in and it was really cold.


The person that was teaching us gave us a flutter board and told us to go and swim to the end. While swimming to the end my legs got very tired, I was beginning to give up. My legs still swimming nearly to the end I stop, the person “said’ to me to keep on going so I did’. I made it I “said’ in my head’ I couldn't wait again for my turn.

Unfortunately we had to go back to school. It was really disappointing to go but we get to go the next day for two weeks.
