Enrich

Today at Enrich Maddison, Samantha and I started with clay on the wheel. To see who went first Marie wrote 1,2,3 on a bit of paper and we picked a bit of paper out of  Marie's  hands.  Samantha got the first turn  and I got second turn. Finally it was my turn. The first couple of steps were to get the wheel spinning then slam the clay in the middle then find the middle and then with the part of  your hand under the palm push the clay in and up. Then curve one hand around the clay without touching it  and with your other hand push your hand over on an angle and then down  and do it three or four times. 

ABSTRACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For art today we did masking tape  art which is a type of abstract art. The pattern is simply lines and shapes, but you could do a colour pattern as well if you were really wanting to make it more challenging!

Here is my finished product, and a photo of us all concentrating hard while we were painting!

I hope you enjoy

Clay 1.0.1

Clay 1.0.1

Yes! Today Norton (my friend), and I started our passion time doing clay. We started out by smashing it against a piece of wood and getting out all the air bubbles. Next we went in to moulding the shape in the clay that we wanted to work with. Norton and I made a face. The next step of the clay face is getting some of the spare clay and making the facial features and attaching them. 
You have to score and join them carefully or they fall off when the clay dries!

Dance Galore

Hello and Welcome to my Blog

Today at Enrich the people in performance had to learn the WHOLE dance for sharing night on the 17th of September.

The dance is really fun and tiring.... everyone was sweating by the end and everyone ended up stripping a layer of clothes off.

Bye, See you next time

Writer's Studio

Hello and welcome to Briana's Blog for all you blog readers.

Today for our pattern workshops I did Writer's Studio. Last week we went out into town and stalked people well not stalked but spying in a nice way :)

We had to be really silent otherwise Nicola would send us out.

Here is some of my story.           

 Parents 

Parents are always obsesed with their children not wanting to do something or saying they can't do something. But when you bribe your children with a 10kg bag of chocolate or something like sweets, they always do it so the parents know that they are lying.

They are constantly on about work doing everything they can to help themselves, not anyone else, especialy if your Dad is like mine and every time he gets home, he is always, always on and on about work, so before you know it, all you hear is... 'EWUIRWGBIWUYGfYUEWF.' 

Hi

 Today we learnt a new song called 

'Some Things Are Meant To Be' from the well know story called 'Little Woman'. Here is a bit of  the song and the link.

Let's pretend we're riding on a kite.

 Let's imagine we're flying through the air.

We'll ascend until we're out of out of sight. Light as paper we'll soar.

Let's be wild up above the sand feel the wind the world at our command.

 Let's enjoy the view, and never land.

This song is about two sisters and one is dying, and she is trying to tell the other sister that she has to go.

   Calligraphy Writing.

Do you know what Calligraphy writing is because I do!!!!

Today we did Calligraphy Writing. Calligraphy Writing is the swirly and twirly writing used in the olden days when your parents were kids. We started out with a practice sheet and then we had to write our names, friends, address and things like that. Next after you had finished you could grab a bit of card and the write on it in calligraphy and  you could either do a picture with calligraphy, a picture with a saying around it or a wordal which is a box of words on all different angles. 

Bye,  See You Next Term.
