Ballantynes Fire 1947

WHAT: 

Describe a significant event in Canterbury History Ballantynes Fire.

 SO WHAT:

 

 NOW WHAT:

 My overall statement is that everyone should've tried to get out even if they did think it wasn't serious                       

 because, a lot of people ended up dead when the fire burst into flames another because is that they 

 should've tried to get everyone out because, heaps of other people could've ended up dead aswell.

 

Perspective Art

WHAT:

We have created art to represent perspective of objects close and far away.

SO WHAT:

My art represents a river geting further and further away, with houses looking out over the river, and there are private beaches  infront of the houses.

MY ART ELEMENTS:

Lines: I have done squiggly lines for the outside of the river and the shape of the clouds.

Shape: I have done rectangles for the houses and they have triangles on top as roofs. 

Colour: I have used a dark blue for the end of my river and used a lighter blue for the front of my river.

NOW WHAT:

In my art an area I could improve on is to try and not rush my painting because the colours all mixed together and the painting started to look bad.

   THIS IS A PHOTO OF MY ART:

My Asttle Writing 2014

My Art 2014

WHAT: 

Create art demonstrating an understanding of perspective. Using effective point, shape, line, texture colour and use of space. 

SO WHAT: 

What I did in my art was try and draw all of the lines as strait as I could without a ruler, and I also tried my hardest to try and get my art to look as good as Mr Shaskeys art, somewhere where I think I was successful was my clouds, and my shading. When I did my clouds the thing I was proud of was that I drew the clouds lightly so that if I did a mistake I could rub it out easily, and in my shading I was proud of that because, I made sure I shaded it all in the shade it should be, and made sure that I didn't go out of the lines heaps.

NOW WHAT:

If I had to do my art again what I would do differently is draw my flags more lightly because at the moment they sort of stand out, also some of my shading is too light or too dark so in my shading what I would do differently is look at Mr Shaskeys art to try and get my shading correct.

Cross Country 2014

Cross Country 2014

WHAT: 

I competed in the Kauri Cross Country at Westlake park for 2014

SO WHAT: 

My strategy was to run closely behind the person in front of me the whole time untill the last sprint towards the finish line, this helped me a lot because at the last sprint I pasted the person infront  of me and ended up in first place this made me fell very proud of myself:-)

NOW WHAT:

Next time what I would do differently is get infront of the person infront of me before the last sprint.
