Locating Faces and Predicting Faces

The first maths activity I did was called Locating Faces.  I had to estimate how many faces there are and then after I had to paint the faces and see if I was right.

The second maths activity I did was called Predicting Faces.  I had to estimate how many faces there are and then after I had to paint the faces and see if I was right.

Part Adder Week 3

Today I used the part adder to solve two digit numbers. I had to solve 48 + 49. I split the 49 and split the tens and ones into 40 + 2 + 7. Then I add 48 + 40 and my answer is 88. Then I added 88 with 2, which gives me 90. Finally I added the 7 and got my answer, 97.

For this way I split the 48 into 37 and 11. Then I added 11 with 49 and got 60. Then I added 37 with 60 and got my final answer, 97.  

Dewey Decimals

For library skills we learnt about Dewey Decimals. We learnt that it was a way to organize the non - fiction books in a library. For our task we had to search up what subject was the number chosen.

Maths Equation

I needed to solve 18 +8. I used the part adder tool to solve the problem.

L.I. Complete an artist study

Know about colours - complimentary

Use pastel to blend colours

Here is a photo of Georgia O’Keefe

3 Facts about this artist are…

1. Georgia O’keeffe is known for her beautiful paintings of flowers
2. Georgia’s eyesight became bad in 1972 and died in 1986
3. Her spouse ( Alfred Stieglitz ) accidentally showed Georgia’s paintings in his gallery. She got upset by she forgave him.

Here are three examples of her flower paintings

Flower - Lily Colours - Gold, Green, White, Black Background -Black Details - Background is Black and the flower which makes the flower stand out. The middle gold but stands out from the white.	Flower - Poppy Colours -Black, White and Red Background -White Details - Petals off the edge of the picture.The middle of the flower stands is the focus of the painting	Flower - Petunias Colours -Purple, White and Green Background - Details -  Petals are cut off on the edge of the page. Background makes the flowers stand out.

I like petunias best because the middle flower is the focus of the painting and she has also cropped out the edge of the flowers.

l

I have decided to draw a Blue Morning Glory because it is a beautiful flower and the edge of the petals have overlapped of the painting.  

to make it like a Georgia O’Keefe flower I will overlap some petals outside of the painting.

Using this tool take 2 screenshots - paste them under here

The first is complimentary colours - this gives you the colour of the flower and the colour of the background.

Then do a shade one for the shades you can use for you flower

This week we are learning about Georgia O'keefe. We are doing this because we are drawing flowers and we want to make it look like Georgia O'keefe's flowers. I learnt that Georgia Okeefe's flower paintings are based on the middle of the flower and most of them have overlapping petals.

Chunuk Bair Poem - Personal Connections

Poem:

At night we climbed a ridge

from the beach up to where

the Turks stood over us.

Finally we were equal warriors,

cresting like a wave,

not washed against a fiery cliff.

We held our ground for two days.

At daybreak, their leader –

a great man with a pocketwatch

and a whip – rose up.

His men surged towards us,

firing from their motherland,

and we fell like rain.

When the snow came,

we left our dead behind.

Connections:

I went to camp and we owned it for 2 days.

In the morning I climbed up a rock near a beach in Samoa.

As I was standing in the water at a beach, the waves were coming forward like the Turkish people did.
