Digital Notan Formative – Kick start

Today for the SLJ I did Digital Notan Formative – Kick start. We had to make an art piece called Notan. Its a type of Japanese art where you make and art piece and you coulr half of the art piece white, and the other half black. I decided to go for a nice flower looking art piece.

What is Notan art?
A notan drawing is simply a drawn work of art which highlights the interplay between light and dark spaces and seeks to create some sort of balance between the two.

Ciper and Code – Step it up!

Today for the SLJ I did Ciper and Code – Step it up! We had to try and guess Whaea Donna’s favourite Moana and Maunga. Her favourite Moana was Coopers Beach. Her favourite Maunga is Hikorangi. This acticity was much harder than the kick start if i’m being honest. It took a while to think of an activity I really enjoyed from the summer learning so far because they’ve all been really good. Please leave a wonderful and positive comment on my blog. Thank you!

Ciper and Code – Kick start

Today for the SLJ I did Ciper and Code – Kick start. It was a bit confusing to do but then I got the hold of it. I found out some cool codes and Cipers. I really enjoyed this task even though it was a bit confusing. I had to fill in what my favourite thing to do in the summer, and what is my favourite moana. I picked for the summer one, Swimming at the beach and also going to the strawberry farm. My faourite moana is the pt england reserve beach and mission bay beach.

Silhouette Art – Kick start

Today for the SLJ I did Silhouette Art – Kick start. I had to find a picture of me and my friends or cousins. When I found a picture of me and my friends I then removed the background on a app/website called “remove.bg”. After that I had to get a slide, and add myphoto onto the slide with the background removed from the picture. Then I had to change the colour to black to look like a silhouette. Lastly I had to find a sunset to put onto the background. Please leave a psoitive comment on my blog. Thank you!

Summer Holiday 101 – Step it up!

 

 

Today for the SLJ I did Summer Holiday 101 – Step it up! It was EXACTLY like the kick start activity where we had to find a cold place around Aotearoa/New Zealand to stay for the holidays during winter. Now it’s the exact opposite. We had to find a place around Aotearoa/New Zealand to stay for the holidays during summer. I picked Rotorua because I’ve been there before with I came Back from Afghanistan. I had to stay back in the Rotorua hotel because of quarantine.

Why did I pick Rotorua?

I would really love to spend my summer holidays at Rotorua, New Zealand. Rotorua is a PEACEFUL and WONDERFUL place to stay for a few weeks or months. I would bring my Abaya which is something every muslim girl wears. Sunscreen to keep myself safe, Sunglasses to keep my eyes safe and an umbrella so then I can have some shade everywhere I go. Rotorua is a place where people are super humble and so responsible for their needs.

Poem Postcard – Step it up!

Today for the SLJ I did Poem Postcard – Step it up! It was again EXTREMELY easy but i bit of a challenge too. I had to make my own poem postcard from a google drawings. I decided to make a poem postcard for one my of friends that I met online on a cool site called “Edublogs”. As you can see I made an art piece of a baker (that is my friend) cooking some stuff in the oven.

I made this for my best friend Jamie. Jamie is a student from St Patricks School who is participating in the SLJ with me! She has commented on my blogs throughout my SLJ way. We both kept commenting on each others blogs and we then became friends. I read Jamie’s about me/bio and I found out she loves of bake. I really love baking too, mostly traditional desserts. I made this art piece specifically for her.

Tessellations – Kick start

Tessellations – Mathigon

Today for the SLJ I did Tessellations – Kick start. I had to make a tessellation out of shapes. I made my tessellation with different types of triangles. I made my tessellation look really cool and the colours match every other. I really enjoyed doing this art task made by Cheryl Torrie from the SLJ team. Please leave a positive comment on my blog.

Build a plane – Kick Start

Today for the SLJ I did Build a plane – Kick Start. It was really easy because we had to make a glider plane. I tried my best to make my glider plane as detailed as I can. We went to the strawberry farm today so it was a bit tricky for me to build the glider plane, because I was tired. We had to use recycled materials. I used a plastic bottle, a piece of paper, some carboard and pens. Please leave a positive comment on my blog. Thank you!

Shadow Art – Kick start

Today for the SLJ I did Shadow Art – Kick start. It was really fun but a bit tricky. We had to finda piece of paper and pencil, then go outside and find some flowers. They place your paper on a flat surface or a book. Then make sure that you  can see the flowers shadow on your piece of paper. Start tracing the shadows, finally you can colour in the paper.

Vibrant Viola – Kick Start

My Viola Music – Ode To Joy

Today for the SLJ I did Vibrant Viola – Kick Start. It was really fun and musical to do. We had to go on a link called “Ode to joy” and play come Viola.

Watch me playng the Viola. Please leave a positive comment on my blog. Thank you!
