Pasifka Art

Pasifka Art

This term we have been doing Pasifka Art. We had to design our petals and then one of the teachers had to photocopy them 10 times. Then we dyed all of them at the max of 3 colors. I did mine red and green. Then we waited for them to dry. Next we cut them out and got a black peace of paper and glued half of them on. Then we taped the half on the paper. After that we got a peace of white paper and a small peace of black paper. Finally we  weaved them together and taped it onto the petals.

This is my Pasifka art

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Dog Days Book Trailer

For the past week we have been learning about book trailers. I worked with Austin and the book we did was Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Dog Days. First we had to make a storyboard to plan what we where going to have. Then we made our book trailer on a Google Presentation. Then we did a rubric on how we thought our book trailers were.

This is my book trailer.

Now this is my rubric.

I gave myself these scores because I think the book trailer  runs smoothly and holds attention but don't think it is perfect and i think it has all the key scenes from the book.

Cotton Ball Catapult

Cotton Ball Catapult

This week Room 5 & 6 have been making Cotton Ball Catapults. I made mine with Natasha & Odin. We made lots of prototypes and this is our final prototype.

Then we went on to make our catapult. We used lots of materials like plastic spoons, popsical stick, rocks, a box, wool and tape.

Then we put all of our materials together and made this awesome catapult.

Today we launched them and ours only went high. Ours went 2 meters high and we won $50 in class money. But for the other things we failed.

Calendar Art 2015

Last week we started to make our calendar art for this year.Then we carried on this week. First we traced our hands onto a peace of paper. Next we drew four lines and there were nine boxes and in the nine boxes we had to do designs. Then we had to color it in. Then we went over the lines with black vivid. This is my 2015 calendar art.

My Sketching

This week and last week our class have been doing sketching before school. Our teachers printed out pictures for us to sketch. I sketched a dragon, batman and a dog from Marmaduke. These are all of my sketching's. 

The favourite sketch that I did was the dragon because it looks very cool.

Something that I learnt from sketching was that you have to press lightly with your pencil so you can rub it out if you make a mistake.
