On fridays the year 7 and 8’s have Taonga time. Its when we go to different teachers to learn and do different things like Science,sports,art,movie making and music. The group that I am in is the music group with Mr Jacobsen. I wasn’t looking forward to going to music I only had one mate in music and that was Dillion.
When we started to make beats in music I started to like music. Our task was that we would make a song using only beats,guitar loops and bass. I was getting really excited to make a song. I started off with a bit of bass then added some beats to the mix. Instead of using a guitar I used guitar synths. My song was started to sound really cool.
Once we had finished our song we had to put it in a movie showing photos of anything we wanted. I choose to show cars while my song was playing. I think that my song would go really well with all the cars. The car that I like most is a Holden, it sounds very loud and it’s very fast. The movie had to be seventeen seconds long.
That was the end of this week's Taonga Time I can’t wait until the next session.

AFL Lessons
For the last two weeks Kiwikick have came to teach us about AFL. AFl is a very competitive game and you have to be very fit. Originally AFL is from Australia it is one of Australia's most played sports. You need a lot of skill in kicking and catching to be good at AFL. Sam was our instructor.
Our first skill that we were learning about was called the drop punt. You had to do this thing called laces away from faces it is when you put the laces on the ball away from your face. The other skill that we learnt was the hand pass. Its when you do a fist and hit the ball to the other person. If you do it wrong your hand will be very sore.
The first game that we played was Octopus but to tag people we had to do to do hand passes. Sam called a specific thing that people were wearing then they had to run. I was one of the first to get out Sam got me. Then I grabbed a ball so I could get some people out. I nearly got Junior out but I just missed.
Then our time at AFL had finished I just can’t wait until the next AFL

Pablo Picasso and Daniella Hulmes
We have to compare the two paintings called ‘The Weeping Woman’ and the painting ‘A lazy day in Paradise’. The artists of these paintings are Pablo Picasso and Daniella Hulme. Pablo Picasso’s style of painting is Cubism and Daniella Hulme’s style may be called Modern art.
‘The Weeping Woman’ is painted by the famous Pablo Picasso. Just by looking at this painting I could tell that this painting is very weird. It looks very different than most paintings because of Picasso’s style of cubism. It makes me feel scared because it’s ugly. I think that Picasso felt sad when he painted ‘The Weeping Woman’.
‘A lazy day in paradise’ is painted by Daniella Hulme. The style in this painting is called modern day painting. It looks like a lady that is lying down in a sunny bright day. I’ve noticed that the background looks like a bright blue sky.This makes me feel very lay back and happy. I think that Daniella Hulme’s felt very happy and lazy so she painted this painting.
The similarities of these two paintings is that the yellow is used in both of these paintings. Also in both of these paintings they are both women. There is many differences in both of these like that in ‘The Weeping Woman’ the lady looks very depressed and sad, while in the painting ‘A Lazy Day In Paradise’ the lady looks very happy and vibrant. ‘The Weeping Woman’ uses different colours
I like ‘The Weeping Woman’ but it makes me feel very depressed and sad. While the painting ‘A Lazy Day In Paradise’ makes me feel very happy and lazy.

Van Gogh and Henri Matisse
We had to compare the paintings ‘Sunflowers’ and ‘La Musique’. The artists of these paintings are Vincent Van Gogh and Henri Matisse. Expressionism and Fauvism were the styles of these paintings. Van Gogh had a very depressing life and Matisse had a happier life in comparison.
The Sunflower was painted by VIncent Van Gogh. Parts of the painting look like it has light and dark shading. Expressionism was used in this painting. But the thing is the Sunflower wasn’t blooming it looked like the plant was dying because Van Gogh’s life was very sad and miserable. That's why the sunflowers look dead. This painting makes me feel very sad.
‘La Musique’ was painted by Henri Matisse. It was of two ladies and he used very bright colours. Fauvism was the style in this painting. One of the ladies looks like she is playing the guitar and the other looks like she is enjoying the music. The colours make it look very vibrant and makes me feel very happy and lazy.
The same things in these two paintings is that there is yellow in both of the paintings and they are shaded in both the yellow parts. The differences is that the Sunflower looks very sad and dead but the La Musique looks very bright and happy. I like the La Musique because it makes me feel happy and lazy.
I think that these paintings are very good. There are lots of differences in these paintings but also similarities. Van Gogh had very good paintings but they made me feel sad. I like Henri Matisse's painting because it makes me feel very lazy and sad.

Art Alive Rotations Part 1
Topic words: Immersion Week Rotation for ‘Art Alive’
Last week we were rotating around each class to learn about art. In the classrooms we learnt about different styles, techniques,sketches and art works. We learnt about artists like Van Gogh, Matisse, Monet, Picasso and Daniella Hulme.
On Tuesday we went to Room 22 to study about Vincent Van Gogh. We had to sketch a flower, then paint it. The style of Van Gogh is he tries to make his paintings come alive. We had to paint the flower yellow then lightly paint it with a bit of red. I was trying to make my painting look as similar to Van Gogh’s as possible. Van Gogh had a special kind of brush stroke technique that blends the colours together which is very amazing.
In Room 18 we learned about Pablo Picasso. He had a unique style of painting called Cubism. He didn’t like the style that people were using so he made up his own. Picasso wondered what his paintings would look like if he changed the perspectives of his paintings. It looked very weird but it was Picasso.
