Awesome Aladdin

 Kia ora Bloggers! What have you been up to? Recently in school, I signed up for the production. This year we are performing Aladdin so I've been pretty busy with that. We have a slide of activities that we are expected to complete, so far I have completed a pixel art portrait of our favorite Aladdin character. I don't actually have a favorite character so I just did Aladdin. In all honesty, I am pretty terrible at pixel art but it was fun to do anyway.

So. It's not great but I enjoyed making it seeing as pixel art is definitely not something I would normally use or even consider using. Who's your favorite Aladdin character? See you next time!

Hundertwasser Art

 Hey Bloggers! How were your Easter holidays? Did you do anything interesting? During Wednesday afternoons we have been looking at an artist named Friedensreich Hundertwasser who lived in NZ for a large portion of his lifespan. He designed multiple different buildings and his paintings were often inspired by children's dreams. They were made to try and make people happy because  "People don't need more problems"  His painting usually contained little to no straight lines and lots of colors.

We had to create an art piece inspired by his art style and this one is mine.  

As you can see there are not many straight lines if any at all and the whole thing is extremely colourful, we were meant to use complementary colours and things like that but in all honesty I just kind of went for it. Still, I think it turned out ok. Make sure to google Friedensreich Hundertwasser and find out more about him! Do you know your complementary colours?

Super Safety comic

 Hey Bloggers! What have you been up to? 
As you know, on Wednesday afternoons we've been looking at safety while at home and in general. This week we took a look at emotional safety and how we can look after one another. This could be anything from people calling your friends names or leaving others behind, we found that this sort of thing is really important and it can be just as important as physical safety. 

This week the teachers showed us a small comic strip that demonstrated an instance where other's emotional saftey could be at risk. We had to fill in a blank panel at the end showing what WE would do in that situation.

Here's my comic:

Ok so the quality is terrible so I'll tell you what's happening. In the first panel, we see a school disco and a group of friends. In the next, we can see that two more girls have come to join them and they have started to leave the girl in red out. In the final panel, the girl with the ponytail is turning back to invite her.

What do you think? Have you ever been in a situation like this? Tell me if you have been and tell me what you did! Have a great rest of your day.

Helpful Home Safety

 Hey Bloggers! How are you? What have you been up to? In the afternoons after tech classes, we've been looking at home safety and how to make sure you know what the best options are. We got given a scenario where we were home alone and someone came up the drive, we then had to decide the best way to react to this. Next, we put this onto a poster along with some other options that maybe weren't the best idea. Here's how my poster turned out.

How does that look? I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out, Canva (which is the site I used) gave him a bit of grief with the colour palette but I got there in the end. Did this teach you anything? Do you enjoy staying home alone? Have a great day!

Lots of Lego

 Hi Bloggers! Last post for today cause I forgot that we were meant to include this in the last post and I can't edit my old posts for whatever reason. Each year we have to create a self-portrait and this year it was a lego figurine of yourself. If I'm being honest mines kinda off but I think it still turned out ok. The braces were extremely last minute because I forgot I had them but the facial expression is very accurate, I'm tired 24/7. 

The green hoodie was based on a mickey mouse one I own, the hair a bit dark but overall I think I did ok.

Do you own any lego? That's all for today.

Kia ora Bloggers! Second post of the day! This doesn't happen too often huh? This is a really fun task I got given, we had to make a short video about ourselves and what we enjoy, it took me a while to think of these because reading is my one defining trait but no one wants to hear about what I read and my favourite characters deaths. In the end, I think I got enough. Enjoy learning more than you ever wanted to know about me.

Perfect Pepeha!

 Hey Bloggers! I feel like I used this title last year... I think I did. Anywho, this year for our pepeha we had to create an Adobe spark short. 

Firstly, of course, we had to write out our pepeha then learn how to pronounce everything which we sorta difficult considering speaking isn't a specialty of mine in general but your pepeha is definitely something that's pretty useful to know and I got there in the end.

Getting photos was another thing that was quite entertaining, apparently, I have little to no photos of myself and as you will see in a minute I wasn't very successful in finding new ones. I've been rambling for a while now so here's my pepeha: 

I hope you enjoyed it, if you didn't have your sound on I would really appreciate it if you could go back and rewatch it with sound! How many people are a part of your family? Did I make any mistakes? Make sure to comment and let me know!
