My special place

Special places are everywhere. My special place is in Gisborne. I chose Gisborne because I went to a beach with my mum called Waikanae beach and we had a swim there. It was so awesome! I really liked that place because I got to meet new people in my family that I didn’t know before. It takes a really long time to get there but it’s worth it because I have fun playing with my cousins. It’s special to me because it reminds me of the first time I got to meet new people in my family.

Claude Monet is really talented when it comes to painting. So, that is why I chose him. His style of art is Impressionism. I have decided to base my painting on Monet’s because he makes his art look so realistic. I wanted to try and make my painting of Waikanae beach look like the one of his called ‘Arm of the Seine near Vetheuil’. His art looks like he hasn’t even sketched it. When you look at his paintings, it has no lines at all. It doesn’t really matter what colours you use but the important thing is that you know what colours you’re using. The colours that I have used are dull. I didn’t use bright colours because I like dull colours like green. I carefully used little brush strokes and it was pretty hard to do. I really like my painting and I hope you do too.

Reflection for this term

This term, I have learnt alot of things about art. The other thing is that we even got to learn about artists like Claude Monet, Vincent Van gogh, Henri Matisse and their styles of art. I have a painting of my special place and the artist that I have chosen to look over on is Claude Monet. His art is like when you take a picture but moved a little and everything is blurry. I am proud of what I have accomplished this term.

We even had a performance and it was called P.E.P.A, it stands for Pt England Performing Art. It was so awesome!!! I like it because there were all sort of categories. There were kapa haka, hip hop, ballet, breakdancing and others. A lot of people were very confident at what they were doing because their teacher was very confident as well and her name is Olivia Muliaumasealii. She is the one who made up P.E.P.A.

This term has been a blast. I feel really happy and sad at the same time. The reason I feel happy is because we don’t have to go to school and the reason why I’m sad is because I don’t get to see my friends again until school starts. I hope that next term will be even better.

Spongebob and Patrick( Describing a character )

Spongebob and Patrick are annoying, imaginative, irresponsible  and they both love jelly fishing. They annoy their neighbour Squidward and they don’t think what they're doing until they do it. Spongebob has really big eyes, red cheeks and has a big smile. On the other hand, Patrick lacks intelligence, loses his memory and is lazy. Spongebob works at the Krusty Krab flipping krabby patties while Patrick lies on the top of his rock doing nothing all day. Spongebob practices karate but Patrick still lies on his rock.

Static images

In room 21 we are learning about static images. What is a static image? A static image is a picture that lacks movement or in other words, a picture that does not move. It can be a sketching, poster, painting or drawing.


This photo above is about a sun that is setting and it has reflected on the water. It is an image that has a lot of feelings. There are no bright colours but it still looks beautiful. The most dominant colour I see is pink. The photographer has taken a really good picture and it has a great effect. When I look at this picture I feel happy and it makes me want to sleep.
