Music with Ms. Kelly

During music with Ms. Kelly We all used our thinking skills to think about what conflict would taste, feel and look like. We all got into a circle and thought of a word describing what we felt about conflict. Then Ms. Kelly would play some chords on the piano and we would say our word out loud. After everyone went we had a second go and as well as saying our word we had to create an action to go with our word. I used my creativity to create an action. As I said my word I put my hands on my hips and pouted for my word was "frustrated". Some of the other kids said sad or guilty or angry and just hung their heads. I thought I could make up something different.

After we went round twice with what conflict looked liked we did the exact same thing with what conflict would taste like if it was a cookie. I announced that it would taste bitter and salty, as well as the cookie dough being hard and rough on my tongue. We didn't create an action because you can't really describe taste through movement. I made a connection with perfume commercials because you see a bunch of weird things happening and then out of nowhere they just smack you in the face with the perfume! I think they make perfume commercials this way because like I said you can't express taste or smell through movement.

 Before we started off with conflicts we started learning how to play the ukulele. We learned the A minor, F, C and G chords. Just so we could get the hang of switching between chords we played 'Lions Sleep Tonight' with Ms. Kelly on the piano. I thought this was a great opportunity to use my musician skills and play the best I could. For a little more practise we got into groups and created a quick tune using drums, ukuleles and our voices. I was in a group with Peter, Kaelyn, Chiara and Aksel. Chiara and Aksel played the drums while me, Kaelyn and Peter played a few chords on the ukulele. We created three different parts. Drums, me and Kaelyn and Peter. Our next project was to create a song/dance that would explain conflict. I was out into a group with Reiden, William and GUstav. We had lots of difficulties choosing a song and changing the lyrics. We were very confused because Mrs Kelly ould say something and then Mrs Menon would say something completely different and we would have to change the entire thing we were just working on.

UOI Who We Are - Art Reflection

Jitish Kallat Portraits We made our portraits in the style of Jitish Kallat an artist from Mumbai.   We represented our cultural identity, nationality, language, religion and ethnicity in our portraits. Here is my portrait. How does your portrait reflect your cultural Identity? It shows my cultural identity in the background because I drew the Brazilian flag which is where I come from. I put down ISZL because it is one of the schools I have been to. I love to eat sushi so I put that down because it is part of me. I put down all the things that matter to me in my life. Some of the words and pictures I put on my painting reflected all the things I think are important in life. Such as my family in the top left corner of my hair, my friends in the lower right, my favourite teddy bear, me and my brothers Xbox 360 and the cinema at the top middle of my head.

Final Art Rotation Reflection May 2017 Mrs Richardson Week 1 I learned more things on advertisement today b drawing a pizza box. I learned that you have to make it look really yummy to eat to make people buy it and you should add bright colours to make it stand out. Like at McDonald's where they make it look even better than in real life! I learned that you have to make it as accurate as possible when you’re advertising because people might get disappointed if it’s not all they expected it to be. I liked the challenge with drawing the font because sometimes it was bold , sometimes it was cursive . Sometimes it was underlined , sometimes it was comic font. I really liked drawing the boxes but it was a challenge for me at specific parts of the box! I especially enjoyed colouring it in! Week 2 The second week with Mrs Richardson was fun because we started thinking about how we’re going to lay out our posters for trade fair. It was really fun deciding which fon...

Procedural Writing

We did an experiment with different types of toy balls. We would drop all of them from a specific height and see how high the ball would bounce. We then measured the height and moved onto the next ball. Once we dropped all the balls once we would drop them again. We dropped them 3 times. In the end the ball which jumped the highest was a red spiky ball.
