APPLES!

We did some sketching today.  We had some basic objects and we had to sketch them out on paper.  Next,we had to paint them.  I like to paint - it is one of my hobbies, but my best hobby us reading, but we're not talking about that now!  Back to painting.  I used black, white, yellow, green, red, blue and orange.  Can you guess what I painted today?  If you guessed an apple... you are correct!  The biggest challenge was to get the right shape of the apple!

Let's talk about art and Keynote...

Art today was with Jenni because Darryn wasn't here today.  We usually go with Darryn.  We kind of made a rainbow today.  I did all 3 colours today:  red, green and blue.  You had to make the dark shade of it, and then blend it out to the lightest shade.  The colours you had to work with were - yellow, red, blue, white and black.  We did this to learn how to blend your colours so that you get the right shade that you need.

After morning tea, we played chess.  I played Norton.  I won!  I went from 25th place on the leaderboard up to 10th place!

I went to the Keynote workshop with Katie.  She taught us how to make a Keynote which is to help you show your work to other people.  I learned how to make different bits of information fly in and out of my screen!

Art with Darryn.

Today was the first  day of talent development.There were three choices art with Darryn, Performance with Nicola, and MADE Awards with Katie. I chose art. Darryn asked us what the primary colours are.  We said:  yellow, blue and red.  Darryn said that those 3 primary colours can make EVERY colour.  Those 3 colours CAN'T be made from other colours. We spent some time today on basic skills - blending colours.  By the end of this project, we hope to have our own art exhibition set up.  There will be heaps of different types of artwork on display.
