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.

Dear Mr Palmer

It is so exciting that the learning center has moved closer to my class,
so when it is morning tea or lunch time It is a lot closer.
I can just go there and I do not have to walk very far.

Nathin,Alex and I like playing Uno,
It is a fun game I think everyone should play it is a good  learning game for other's.

I think that you should get more fun  learning games.
I got a game that I would like to see it is called Emoji Uno.
It is like the other one but you can get points and you can get big points with +4 +2 and skip etc.
Which would also help with our maths learning.

There is about 10 or so people that go to the Learning Center,

It is a fun safe place for everyone to go to. The people that go they like
the games and they like to meet new people.

I like to vs older people they are very hard to bet but I can beat  them.

On cold days I  know a place that I can go. It is a nice and warm place to go.

It’s always cools me down when it is a hot day.
It is a safe and enjoyable place to go to and hang out.

Suggestions:

I think you should add a learning area so you can do your school work.
I think we should have more bean bags and chairs in that learning center.
I think we should also have a games area so we can vs others people.
I think the games area should have tables and chairs that you could put stickers on it so you would
know the chairs with stickers are the gaming area ones.

These are only a few suggestions I think will improve our learning center.

Your sincerely
