Picasso Art

 

Picasso Art 

In Room 20 we have been doing our art around picasso style. Picasso did his art in a weird way- the eyes were different shapes, the head was completely different to real humans and some colours didn't go well together. He lived up to 91 and his first name is really long- 23 words! Picasso was born on October 25th 1881 in the city of Malaga, Spain. 

For our art we first had to roll a di. It would land on a number and that would be the facial feature we used. It was really fun and mine turned out really good except for the eye which got smudged with pink.

Hard Materials Tech - USB

 Hard Materials Tech 

At Hard Materials Tech we have been making covers for a USB stick. I made mine in the shape of a netball. We had to come up with 2 ideas to choose from. I did chocolate and a netball. Then we had to make a wooden design to test it and see what we could improve or if we liked it the way it was. I decided to add engraving on the other side.  Then Mr Sutherland made our plastic ones and they turned out to be really cool. 

Revaluation Tour

Today the Revaluation Tour came to HNI. They talked about how everyone has a value but some just need to realise it. They were very inspiring and got us to join in with some things. Here are some links:

Mothers Day Poem

My Mum

Her silvery brown hair brushing her shoulders

Big smiles light up the day like the ray of sunshine

Soft eyes sparkle like new green grass

That’s My Mum

Fingers are soft like the surface of a butterfly’s wings

Her cheeks are soft like dewy petals

Strong hands are rough from hard work in the garden

That’s My Mum

The aroma of her rose moisturiser wavers around her

She smells like sourdough waffles from her work

The strong scent of coffee after she gets up from her bed

That’s My Mum

Salty meat lining the inside of lasagna

Apple and feijoa crumble fresh from the baking hot oven

Feijoa muffins baked thoroughly and fresh

And That’s My Mum
