Artsonia Artwork

We are learning to: 

 Develop ideas by developing and revisiting visual ideas, in response to examples we have seen, and ideas that we can think of for ourselves. 

Artsonia is full of great inspiration for art ideas.  This week we are going to be viewing a video about contrast… an abstract space, the brick wall and the object you choose to include. Here is my Artwork.

Technology

Technology: WALT follow a brief by justifying the nature of an intended
outcome in relation to the need or opportunity. Use the criteria identified
to inform the development of an outcome and its evaluation.

Time to ‘get your chef on’ again lovely people.  

The challenge today is to create a ‘treat’ to share with your bubble buddies.

We are learning to: 

 Develop ideas by developing and revisiting visual ideas, in response to examples we have seen, and ideas that we can think of for ourselves.

Learning Challenge: Create an artwork by either painting, or drawing, a message painting in the style of Nigel Brown. You might choose to focus on current events or on an important moment in history.  I would expect to see an image and carefully chosen words to support your message.

Teenager Workout

The current rules around COVID19 isolation and ‘bubbles’  mean that
we are all still limited in our interactions with others. One issue that has
been identified by many people is that a lack of routine, and spending
most of their time in the house has made them quite demotivated in
terms of health and wellness.

This week I want you to create a weekly wellness workout for one of
these three age groups: a toddler, a teenager, or a septuagenarian.
You need to think carefully about the special needs of each of these
groups.

Science Badge

This is my completed science badge

Whatumoana

Whatumoana means bravery, I think bravery is important because I think if you are brave you can do more things and enjoy what you are doing more. When you are brave you are courageous you have the courage to do things that people that aren't brave won't do. To be brave sometimes means that you have to go outside your comfort zone and going outside your comfort zone is a good thing. Bravery can get you through things like if you are really sick you have to be brave and fight your illness.

Some people that I think are brave are the people that fought in the wars. To fight in the war you have to be very courageous because you are fighting and risking your life for other people. I also think people like police officers, fire fighters, paramedics, doctors, etc are brave because they are in different ways saving peoples lives and some of them are risking there lives too.

COVID-19 Animation

Challenge given… and accepted? Some people are choosing to follow the COVID Level 3 rules and some people are putting everyone at risk by breaking the rules.

Create an advertisement to encourage people your age to stay in their bubble during COVID Level 3.

This is my Scratch Animation.

Weather Balloons

Weather Balloons     
       
Weather Balloons are balloons that are sent into the air to record the atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity and wind speed. Weather Balloons contain helium, that is how they float into the air. Weather Balloons can be different sizes but they all expand in the air. Weather balloons are mostly made from plant latex. Weather Balloons can rise to the edge of space.

Weather Balloons contain helium so that they rise. They can only do this because helium has less density than air just like oil has less density than water. So the Weather Balloon would be able to go to the surface of the earth's atmosphere. Once the balloon has got to the edge of space it will pop and fall back down onto land.

Weather Balloons are all different sizes but they aren’t listed in size, they are listed in weight. Some weather balloons will be bigger and weigh more because they need more latex, but will still be the same thickness as smaller ones. The difference in weight is dependent on the size of the mold. A Weather Balloon can start at about 2 m diameter and end up about 10 m diameter.

Latex is used by plants to help defend themselves from herbivorous insects. Latex is a liquid that looks like milk and can be taken out of trees. The latex is normally naturally extracted from trees then it gets spun in a mold to make it a balloon shape. After it is molded it is inflated and checked for any leaks and or defeats and lastly it is sent off to customers and distributors.

One of the first Weather Balloons documented was made by Leon Teisserenc de Bort. In 1896 he was actively launching them. James Van Allen who discovered later the Earth’s Van Allen Belts. He also launched a lot of important Weather Balloon experiments in the 1950’s and was the man of the year in 1960.


In conclusion Weather Balloons are balloons that contain helium so that they rise into the air to record the atmospheric weather conditions. Weather Balloons can be all different sizes but they can expand in the air. Weather Balloons are made of latex which is a liquid like milk.

Kiwiana

We are learning to: Develop ideas by developing and revisiting visual ideas, in response to examples we have seen, and ideas that we can think of for ourselves. Learning Challenge: Create an artwork in any way you prefer (painting, drawing, building, sewing,  soap carving!) of something you think is Kiwiana… it could be something other artists have identified or something that is an original idea of your own. Here is my kiwiana artwork.

Nachos

Technology: WALT follow a brief by justifying the nature of an intended outcome in relation to the need or opportunity. Use the criteria identified to inform the development of an outcome and its evaluation.

Time to ‘get your chef on’ again lovely people.  

The challenge today is to work with another member of your bubble family to make a meal for all of you.

I made Nachos here are the photos.
