Eden- Before and After

  Kia Ora everyone! How are you? I hope you are having a wonderful day! So we are focusing on art for literacy and I'm finally on task 5! So task 5 is when you have to create a piece of art, dance, drama, or anything to do with art and we have to make it with something to do with something that you want to change in this world. So the picture that I made meant before humans ruined this world the animals and plants were having a great time but then after we started building they were living a horrible life. So this means we have to stop ruining animals' natural habitats. This drawing that I made is called Before and After because it looked good before than bad after. This took me about half an hour. I really enjoyed making this because I enjoy doing art. AI found this easy cause I knew what I was doing. Thank you for reading this have a great day and please go and check out my work below. Do you enjoy art? Thank you bye. From Eden. 

Clara- Street art or crime

 Task 2 Steet art or crime?

 I think graffiti has many good and bad sides. I agree that street art and graffiti are very different things. Graffiti shouldn't be a crime all by itself but I think it should be a crime in many other ways. Lots of people use the term graffiti sometimes for vandalism such as someone writing stuff on a private piece of object. The difference between street art and graffiti is that street art looks more professional even tho both of them take a lot of time and effort. Usually, street art looks more realistic and mostly has more meaning. The man in the article should have been put in jail for the graffiti because what he did was illegal, just because they become famous artists after that it doesn't mean that they should have been put in jail.

Miro G- Snowball

 After I made the blog about how to play snowball, I had to write a script so I could turn it into a video! I got some other people to act in it.
To be BTB (Better Than Before) I could have made more videos to explain it more.

Calais- Banksy

 

Banksy

 Banksy is a graffiti artist and no one knows who he is and he is a famous artist and he calls himself Banksy when he turned 18 he went and painted a train with his mates down near the train station he started drawing flowers in vases and rats and other animals bits and now he draws a woman on a wall and it's pretty amazing how much work you put in the art the more it gets realistic and more people to admire it and want to do and make art but Banksy started off with graffiti  and now others like his art it sells for a bit of money because no one knows his personal identity it is hidden and you might have seen Banksy but you thought it was some random and did not care so him keepping his identity make others think like me is he old is he young when did he start his art and lots more we don't know because it is hidden from the public and I think it was a good choice to kepp it a secret but he should have asked to paint in some of the places he did was illigal and should of never done some places if he was found he could of been sent away to a place called jail. I don't think Banksy should let anyone know his identity because that might of been famous because no one knows and you should not be arrested for graffiti because others might like it. 

Banksy Artist Profile

Banksy Artist Profile

This is my artist profile on Banksy. It was my 4th task for T-shaped literacy. I had to research him and transfer the information into an artist's profile.

My favorite part was looking at some of his artworks. The shredded 'Balloon Girl' is probably my favorite. The hardest part was adding more detail and information. If I could add one more thing, it would probably be added more about his personal life. To be BTB, I could have added more information.

Banksy Artist Profile

Banksy is the famous multi-millionaire street-artist who chooses to hide his real identity. People are still trying to figure out who he really is. Bansky started spray-painting walls in Bristol, 1990. Some of his most famous pieces sell for millions. The most famous artwork was painted in 2002, Girl with a Balloon. This painting depicts a girl with a red heart-shaped balloon. Whether you see the girl as losing the balloon, or about to catch it, the meaning can be interpreted as a loss of innocence or the arrival of new hope and love. This painting sold for 1.37 million dollars. 

Many people think that Banksy's real name is Robin Gunningham, born in Yate, 19 km from Bristol, but other people are not so sure. Banksy’s identity is still mainly a mystery to the world. Banksy’s paintings are a symbol of hope and emotions, but also of what is wrong with the world. His work should bring comfort to the disturbed, and disturb the comfortable. Banksy’s paintings are normally spray-painted and stenciled.  

Banksy is an artist, not a graffitist.

Kalani- Street Art or Graffiti

 I've learned a lot about this topic like how graffiti is good for filling spaces that need filling and helping distract people like in Christchurch nowhere is everything

 my thoughts are that it's fine as long as it doesn't actually harm someone it should mainly be used in all ways or places that people can see it but if it's not in anyone's way it's a cool and great thing to do but as long as it's not in the way of anything its fine and a cool thing that people do but where it because a crime is when you do it on someone's house without permission or on private property or on a vehicle without permission because then if they want to remove it they have to pay to do it and that could actually hurt them but as long and non of that happens or if you have permission it's cool and amazing what you can do with paint

and that is all I've learned and agreed with 

The Tui- Lachlan

 

Tui

 The tui

Tui is medium-sized, common, and widespread birds of the forest They look black from a distance, but in good light, tui has a blue, green, and bronze color to them and white throat tufts. They are usually very beautiful, with a mix of tuneful notes interspersed with coughs, grunts, and wheezes. In-flight, their bodies slant with the head higher than the tail, and their noisy whirring flight is interspersed with short glides.

The tui also has a good habit of singing in its surroundings. But they only sing when they have landed in a tree or on the ground.

Calais- The Green Puppy

 

The lime green puppy

 

Today we had to do a quiz and we had to research one of the questions or answers and Tahlia and I choose to do about Pistachio the lime green puppy and he was born on the 9 of October so he will be nearly 4 weeks old. 

Harrison- Valerie Adam

 

Valerie adams

Today in Whenua We had 30 minutes to research as much as we can about somebody from the quiz that we did earlier and I decided to research Valerie Adams. The easiest part for me was getting the information because she does shot put and there's a lot of information about her medals and achievements. And the most difficult part for me was getting enough information in 30 minutes. By Harrison 

Beatles- Taj

 The Beatles statue

The Beatles were a rock band that made a lot of music and they were very successful and there is now a statue of them in Liverpool's Waterfront in December 2015 donated by Cavern Club. the statue is seven feet tall and weighs more than 1.2 tonnes. The statue was revealed to the public in 2015. When the Beatles Broke up in 1970 Lennon was shot and killed in December 1980 and Harrison died of lung cancer in November 2001. McCartney and Starr are still doing music.

Today my class did a Quiz and I wanted to do the Beatles statue and it was fun because now I know some stuff about the Beatles and it was a bit hard to because I did not know that much and it was sad because one of them got killed.

Valerie Adams- Quaid

 

Valerie Adams
