Difficulties when making a treatys

Creation of a class treaty

In social studies, we have been trying to make a class treaty the problems are that people were not understanding each other or having a say so we are the teacher told three students to get in a group and make the treaty so it's easier for some people. It is also difficult for people to disagree with things when there is a lot of people as people have different opinions

 

Soft Material

Sweat shirting

So far in Soft Material I have drawn & cut out my stencil for my jumper. 

It was hard to draw the stencil but I had help and I got through it.

My next steps are to pin it to my chosen fabric then cut it out.

Know your place-William

 In Social study, We have been looking at knowing our place. I have done one when our school opened and the rebuild of the school. Something I found out is when the opened the school and how many people went to the school when it opened.  Something I should add next time is to spend my time to add more info to my work. 

learning about Jersey cotton -Sweatshirting

Jersey cotton -Sweatshirting

What is Sweatshirting 

The thing that we are doing is sweatshirts. Sweatshirts are made or designed to absorb sweat, so they keep you warm while cooling you down slowly. unless it’s a sweatshirt that is pretty much good to go!

It is not necessary to neaten off the cut edges because they are knitted fabrics and subsequently this particular thing has happened: upwards. however, we have to do zig zag.

This material is washable 

stretchy

Quick to dry

This is made from a fine gauge yarn, jersey from cotton but can also be made from synthetic fibers(The compounds that are used to make these fibers come from raw materials such as petroleum-based chemicals or petrochemicals ).

English:Hunger Games

L.O: Linking themes to the impact of Angles, Movement and Shots

 

Brainstorm-Lower angle- make the subject look bigger or more powerful, dutch tilt-to show katniss emotional

feeling- dizzy, something is not right-has been selected for the reaping, mid-shot-to show some face expressions body language and the background

What is happing in this shot: Katniss has volunteered as tribute in the Hunger Games where most will probably die. she volunteered because her sister was picked and she didn't want her to die.

Themes-struggle for power-it shows that Katniss and primrose are helpless against the reaping, that the district children are going to be killed.

Rich vs Poor- Clothing- Effie Trinket is dressed nicely while Katniss is in a cheap run-down, well-worn clothing. Effie is immune to the reaping because she is from the capital whilst katniss and the children of the District are scared of it. Showes privilege because those in the capital don't have to be reaped for the games.

Hope & Rebellion-see through the 3 finger salute when katniss has finished speaking- becomes a symbol of rebellion later in the story but is the first time we see it, used almost is mourning. Also, Katniss is becoming a figure of Hope for the people in D12.

How do we feel- Dizzy- put in katniss shoes, said for katniss worried because she has a low chance of winning, admire her for taking her sister's place.

Why did the director do this-Till this point we know she hunts and supports her family, she can use a bow. Volunteers to save her from her sister, tells us that she cares about her family- selfless. Knowing that she can already hunt- she might not die in the games. As an audience, we start to understand her and care about her. 

In the reaping scene, camera angles and shots are used effectively to show the theme ‘Rich vs, Poor’. In this scene Katniss volunteers as tribute, in place of her sister, to fight in the Hunger Games. A low angle, dutch tilt is used to show Katniss and Effie standing on the stage after Katniss volunteers. This is used to make the viewer feel dizzy like Katniss who has just risked her life for her family. The low angle shot makes the viewer feel weak and vulnerable like the children watching from District 12. The director did this to help the audience form a bond with Katniss and understand why she will make the choices she does further in the film. It also shows the theme of ‘Rich vs Poor’ because the people of the Districts have to struggle with the realities of being reaped for the games, whilst Capitol citizens like Effie are immune and see it as honour and entertainment. Combined with this is the use of costumes. We see the privilege of Capitol citizens in the bright, exotic and colourful clothing worn by Effie which contrasted to the worn and faded outfits of those in District 12. Overall, the reaping scene shows us ‘Rich vs Poor’ because it emphasizes the privileges of the Capitol and the power they have over the Districts.

 

Art-Skills

For the last 7 weeks, we have been looking at some art skills, and techniques here are all my work.

In this photo, I drew and cut out a rabbit.

I got a brick background piece of the card.

sab paint on to it and made sense 

                                               

essay about agricultural era

The is an essay, We wrote around technology during the Agricultural Era

Back in 10,000 B.C was the start of crops/farms. 

 These were to get the food number up.

They used all sorts of tools that they used to get the crops from the farm. 

The things that they used in the farm wheat, barley, turnips, and clover
will be planted in that order in each field for successive years.

It is turnips that can help keep the plants alive and grow well -
ruminant animals can feed on their leaves and roots through multiple summers.

The Agricultural Revolution was important because it gave us more food.

The food keeps us alive and gave us more energy to carry on.

They also invented tools so they can get food.

The tools they used are fork, rake, spade, pitchfork, tractors, and a seed drill.

A seed drill is a device that sows seeds for plants by placing them in the ground
and burying them to a certain depth.

Water is used to grow fruits and vegetables.

The tools they used then We still use similar tools in farms today. 

Eninglish(Rich VS Poor)

In English, We have been looking at the film Hunger Games
Here is a mind map about Rich Vs poor with the Capitol and District 12.
Here is my mind map.

learning about Culture in Home economics

• how has food changed in the last 100 years and what have been the big reasons for this change? From eating from the wild to fast foods.
• what was something you didn’t know about changes in Nz Food that you learned from the cards? the food type from the Maori one is the Moa, EEl, and Berries
• what could you see happening to food in another 50 years time,more and new foods
• what could you invent or change that would create a large impact on how we gather, produce, or eat food. Take out fast food so they have to learn how to cook

themes and ideas

Rich vs Poor

Poverty, Power, Privilege, 

Rich- lots of money, more opportunities, privilege, power

Poor- less opportunities, no power, less money, disadvantaged. 

Definition: Theme of ‘Rich vs Poor’

It is more than just money, it is about who has more power,
privilege and opportunities. 

Rich:

• President Snow, District 1, Caesar, Capitol.
• Capitol- don’t get reaped for the Hunger Games, 
• Food- plenty, excessive, variety, 
• Clothing- cleaner, brighter, designer, new outfit every day,
• privilege of choice to co-ordinate what they wear,
• they have choice. 
• Buildings- bigger, different materials, not worn down, architecture is modern,
• example of power and privilege. 
• Technology- more advanced, they have airships, trains, they have tracking technology,
• medical technology- blood scanners, healing balms. 
• Children- get presents, get to play, don’t work, don’t worry. 

Poor

• District 12- 
• Buildings- broken, not very secure, holes in roofs, made from wood, small, don’t have access to materials to make anything better,
• don’t have a lot of power. 
• Clothing - brand, worn out, raggedy, not a lot of variety, old-style, boys best outfits- broken shirts, button-up, trouser/shorts/ suspenders,
• shows us that their clothes don’t always fit properly, hand me downs, Girls best clothes- dresses, shirts/skirts, not a good fit.
• Coal miners- black, grey, dark colours don't show as much dirt
• Technology- medicines- we don’t see any, we do see sick people, shows the privilege of being healthy, transport- walking, an electric fence doesn’t work-
• not enough energy to run it. 
• Food-not enough scarce, hunting for it, rations, put your name into the reaping for extra food. 
• Children- they have to work, no time to play- can play but pushing sticks in the mud, scared being reaped for the Hunger Games, not a lot of choice for future jobs- most will be coal miners

SEXXXY Paragraphs 

In the ‘Hunger Games’, the setting is used effectively to show the theme ‘Rich vs Poor’. Rich vs Poor is more than just money, it is about who has more power, privilege and opportunities. 

For instance, we can see the idea of privilege reflected in the physical environments of District 12 and the Capitol. In District 12, the buildings are worn out, broken down and not secure
whereas the buildings in the Captiol show modern design, variation in materials and are built on a grand scale. This makes the audience think about the differences in wealth and power between the two locations.
District 12 has nothing whilst people in the Captiol are safe and secure in their advanced buildings. The purpose of this was to show that Katniss Everdeen has come from a place of less
privilege and power so her success in the games is very unlikely. 

Coinciding with this is the use of colour. In District 12 there are lots of browns and greens whilst in the Captiol we see a futuristic palette of metallic greys, blacks and silvers.
\ The use of settings and colour effectively show us the
imbalance of privilege between those living in places like District 12 and the Captiol.

The District clothes are old, manky, and dirty.

Street Art

1) Why do we look at street art? Why do we stop when we see it? What is our reaction?

We look at street art because it is eye-catching and is most of the time “out of place”.

We stop to look at it because it is eye-catching and it is interesting to look at and it helps us
understand the real picture when we stop and have a good look at it.  

Personally, my reaction is fascinated because of the scale of a lot of the paintings including these
ones below. 

2) Why do we need and use visual symbols around us?

Having visual symbols helps people so much, in ways that it helps everything flow well in the
form of traffic lights
or it can help communication between everyone and it also makes people's l
ife so much easier and makes everything so much easier to understand.
Having paintings everywhere brightens our city up so much and it makes it look so much more colourful.  

3) What are examples of common visual symbols in our environment?
  Stoplight stop sign bathroom no go excite sign  give way bike line bus line  

What kinds of mural images add interest to the city? 

Most of the murals add interest to the city but to be the ones with
bright and high contrast colours that pop the most and also the ones that look just out of the ordinary,
like one of the elephants and the big BB-8 painting add the most interest to me. Also,
there are the ones that take up a large scale like ones that are put onto big walls that Cavour
the whole thing and catch attention. 

Interpret how they express different ideas than other visual signs and/or advertising.
What does good street art do for the community?

All of the murals have different visual signs like one of the wolves facing each other added
with the background. It gives me the feeling that they are friends (friendship) and there are many others
with different meanings like that. And good street art is good for the
community because it makes the place more bright and all of it is painted in good places
where you could say needed colour because a building was lost there or it was dull. 

• What were you meant to learn? 

About different street art and where and how they look.

• What did you enjoy about this process? 

Learning and seeing or the other street arts around Christchurch.

I have seen a few but these ones are cool.

• What do you think you will do next?
