The Blushing Flower

Well here is my flower. I know it is not that good. But I had to rush it, today is the due date that we need to give it to the teacher. The most embarrassing thing is that it's going up on the wall. Anyway I guess it's not one of my best paintings, but at least I finished it.

Latest Tasks!

This week we can write about any recent schoolwork we've done. This week we have to paint a picture of a flower in a style by a certain artist, Georgia O'Keefe. I'm not sure if that is the correct spelling of her name though. Anyway my picture is not bad even though I haven't finished it yet. I will show you my painting later.

I HAVE FINISHED MY PAINTING!!!

So I have finished my painting of the pencil and its title is "This is not a pencil." I painted a dark red for a background, and it actually looked good!

Term 2 Goals Update

In maths I have done great in improving with decimals and fractions and now I have added percentages to the list. I have received my first percentages work sheet and I have completed it with no problems. For catholic character I haven't achieved to volunteer to do the collection. In physical I have achieved to get the skilled year 8's out. I have picked up at least 5 pieces of rubbish a day for service to the school.

Art Reflection Update

I am doing okay with the blending and shading of painting but I still really need to work on thick and thin lines. Also I need to perfect making straight lines. This week we have to paint a simple object for our art task. I picked a pencil to paint so I could get a challenge to do straight, thick and thin lines.

Painting 'Ceci n'est pas une pipe' !

This week we have to paint a picture by Rene Magritte. It is called 'Ceci n'est pas une pipe'. It means this is not a pipe. Anyway it is pretty simple when you see the painting but it's a whole lot different to paint it. I had trouble with the shading and blending, and I got the position of the pipe wrong on the actual paper. Any way I quite liked the shape of my pipe, to me it was just right. The blending had a bit of work to do but I pulled it off. I also had trouble with the writing of the statement in script ( linking ). But in all I guess my painting was okay.

Science Fair Project

As Term 2 starts we have been given an assignment to carry out a scientific investigation. My science project has something to do with filtering engine oil. Last year the year group above me did astonishing projects. Some were tests for the eye like if can see the illusion. I've seen a lot of people do an investigation on rotting food. Our project is due on week 10 on Wednesday, I think the due date was July the !9th. Right now it is the start of week 5!

Monday Holiday

It's Monday and I'm not at school because it's the Queen's birthday!
