Free Rice

Today in LS1 we worked on our basic facts. I went onto a site called free rice. If you get one question right you donate 10 grains of rice. Today I donated 350 grains of rice. My goal next time is to reach up to 500 grains of rice.

Differences & Similarities between Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein

Today In LS1 art group we talked about the differences and similarities between Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. I found more similarities than differences.

Art Self Portrait Reflection

Reflecting on my Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein themed portrait

Your Photograph goes here

1. Are you pleased with your Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein themed portrait? why / why not?

I am very pleased with my artwork because it suits with the pop art that Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein did.

2. What did you find easy when you created your Pop Art portrait?

The dying session was like colouring in a colouring book and also the block parts in the Roy Lichtenstein artwork

3. What part did you find tricky when you were creating your portrait? -think about tracing round your face, outlining your face using a black marker pen, dabbing areas using the dye, dying the background, dotting your areas, colouring block areas and lettering.

I found the tracing around my face part hard and also dotting my face and skin during the Roy Lichtenstein session.

4. Who / What helped you when you were creating your Pop Art portrait?

People who had already finished doing their Art potrait helped me understand the instructions more so that my art portrait would be a success.

5. What would you do differently next time? Think about: tracing around your face, features on your face, dabbing the dye colours, colour choice, photograph, time management skills, dotting your paper, colouring in block areas, lettering.

Trying more lighter and different colours. Also colouring my block letters inside the lines.

6. What frustrated you when you created your Andy Warhol  and Roy Lichtenstein themed art work?

Using the earbuds doing the Andy Warhol Self portrait was a little frustrating. Using another piece of lined paper in front of our art was a little frustrating to see and getting the dots lined next to each other.

My Easter Holiday Experience

My Easter Holidays

On Good Friday, I slept in because I had nothing to do on that day. My sister crept into the room and pulled the blanket off my feet. It felt so cold, so I tried to pull it back but instead,  my sister screamed, “Breakfast is ready!”. I moaned and groaned, but I finally opened my eyes. My sister opened the curtains, and the sun shone all over the room. My eyes were sore, and I was still tired. I brushed my teeth and washed my face. I felt a little better, but still tired. As I got closer to the kitchen I could smell pancakes, butter and of course maple syrup. My cousin was frying the last few scoops of the pancake mixture. On the table I could see stacked pancakes with maple syrup running down the sides and melted butter on the top. I couldn’t stop looking at it so I just rolled up the top pancake and took a bite. It was very delicious. My mouth was full I took one more small bite. My cousin told me off for eating when standing up. I ate another pancake and went to the lounge. I turned on the T.V watching the news that wasn’t very entertaining. Suddenly, I got very bored and decided to read a book. The book I was reading was ‘Why is this night different from all the other nights?’. It was written by one of my favourite authors, Lemony Snicket. As I read the last few pages of my book I had fallen asleep with the book in my hands. My mum woke me up and told me to jump in the car. We locked all the doors and windows and drove off to my Aunt’s house. When we arrived could already smell the barbecue and I could hear children laughing. I knew that it was my little cousins. We all played games and played with their pet dog. Then my Uncle and another cousin of mine surprised our whole family and also frightened them. We all welcomed him, my Aunty and my cousin to the barbecue. We ate and ate and had dessert later. The adults talked inside the lounge. The kids were in the garage playing games with others. The adults turned on some music and we all had a fun time. I had a awesome time with my family. I’d love to do another family barbecue again.
