Dilution Painting II Art


Subject matter

Form

Composition

Content

What does my painting depict?


The subject matter of my painting is a painting of Iron Man

How did I create the different tones?


I used diluted white acrylic paint to make a  thin wash.  I brushed this on the painting paper with the black gesso. This created a grey tone. To make lighter, grey tones, I added second and third layers of wash. I also did a bit of outlining in normal black and white paint to make it neater.

How did you compose your subject matter? 


Iron Man is centred in the picture space 

Is your subject matter symbolic or does it express an idea?

My subject matter isn't symbolic. But it represents the marvel series.


How did you paint the highlights? 



Is the negative space important in your painting? 





With white washed paint and plain white paint. Washed paint to smooth it out and normal white paint to add more light to it.

Yes so it can make the character stand out more.

Zeus II Social Studies

Its the start of term 4 which means we have a new topic in Social Studies, in social studies for the topic of this term we started looking at deities/gods and where they're from. For this, we had the Maori deity and had to find out what their job or what they were known as. Once we found that out we had to find the Ancient Greek, Ancient Roman, and Hindu deity of that element that we found from the Maori deity.













After that, we had to pick a deity/god from the list we just made and make a poster about said deity/god
For this I picked Zeus.












I enjoyed doing this topic, in total this took 3 days, 2 days for the god finding because the first day we did it, it was a Wednesday and on Wednesday class hours are shorter, the next day was Thursday where I finished my god finding and picked one, that's where I began to put down my notes so I could then transport it to my poster, and today Friday I finished off the last part of my notes and made the poster.

Workshop 5 Sound and Music II English

Link to Workshop 5
For this workshop of of the Teachers at our school played 2 songs on his guitar and once he finished said song on Guitar we were to write down in 3 or more words on how that song made us feel.

Song 1 -  Happy, Excited, Energetic (Major or Minor? - Major Cords)

Song 2 -  A sort of sad romantic Itilian vibe of song, Mysterious, Wonderous (Major or Minor - Minor Cords)

-----------------

Major - Upbeat, Louder, Full strings (Full stroke the guitars strings), Contains 1st 3rd 5th.
Minor - Low Beat, Quieter, suspenseful, Mysterious, Romantic.
Tempo - Speed of the beat or how fast the song is being played as.
Dynamic - Variation between the notes, Volume
Diegetic - Music from the enviroment - Natural Music
Non-Diegetic - Soundtracks, Special Effects

-----------------

In the Dystopian Film The Hunger Games made by Gary Ross music is used substatially to suport Theme and Idea of Hope and Rebellion. This is demonstrated during Rue's Death through the minor cords which makes the audiance hold a sort of sadness for Rue's death. The Tempo of the soundtrack that is also playing during this scene is slowly revealing the emontion and grief to which Katniss is feeling. The dynamic of the music when this scene first starts is a soft quiet sound and builds up louder as the scene progresses through. The director did this to make the auidence feel some sort of connection to Katniss in an emotionally charged moment, where Katniss loses hope. This had wroked out well with the following scene after Rue's death where Distrct 11 goes into a Riot.

Know your world II Social Studies

For the last week of school for term 3 in Social Studies, we've been working on a Prezi about our world.
For this Prezi, we were given a bunch of questions that we had to research to find information for this said Prezi. 


Make comments on what new information you gained from your research
I learned a few things from this small research project such as Christchurch was named after Christ church. I'd also learnt of Lyttleton's old name which was Port cooper before they decided to rename it Lyttelton.

What was the most interesting thing you found in your research?
The most interesting thing I learnt from this research was that if the British hadn't done the treaty of Waitangi in 1840 on February the 6th then the French would have Annexed New Zealand before the British.

What else do you think we should have added to the Prezi
Honestly, I'm not sure as I'd only finished so much and learning this much it's self was interesting for me. It was something nice to do on the last week of school.

Scene Name - District 12
What is happening? - Katniss is running through town to go hunting in the woods
Techniques - Cold Light, Lots of greenery, Dull light, Natural light, Sunlight, Clouds
Effect on the viewer - Cold, Not where you want to be, Back in time, Old fashioned, Lots of poverty, Outdated materials, Live closers to the land
Directors Purpose ( Pick a theme) Rich v Poor - Who was more privilege, power & opportunities -They don't have the privilege of technology - No artificial sources of light. 
Other techniques - Costumes, Greys/Blacks - Coal Miners, Black shoes - less dirt

Name Scene - Train station at the capitol 
What is happening - Capitol citizens are waiting for the tributes to arrive
Techniques - Lighting- Cold, Bright, Artificial- Electricity, Colour palette- Colourful, Vibrant, Vivid Costumes and what/grey modern walls
Effect on the viewer - Modern, Sets the mood- Excited for the tributes
Directors Purpose - Rich v Poor- Power, privilege, & Opportunity - They have access to technology - Trains, the station, better sewing technology because the costumes are better. Not Poverty in Capitol - They don't have to work, Privilege of being able to go and watch the tributes arrive

------------------------------

In the scene at the train station, lighting and colour are used substantially to show the theme of 'rich vs poor' in this case, rich means the privileges given to those in the Capitol. This is demonstrated through the use of bright, cold, artificial lighting and a modern colour palette of whites and greys for the buildings and vibrant pinks and blues for the clothing This makes the audience feel like the location is modern and the citizens are excited for the tributes to arrive. The purpose of this was to show that the Capitol has the privilege of technology - They have electricity, trains and access to better clothing. This worked well with the use of costumes. The costumes of the Capitol are unique, exquisite and exotic which shows they have more variety and sewing technology than those of people in the district. This can be juxtaposed to the conditions in District 12 where there is no electrify and the colours and lighting are more natural.

Reflection II Art

 For the last past 2 - 3 weeks, we've been working on stencilling in Art. Our first step was to find a shape anyway, and draw it down and then cut it out to make our stencil. we then had to paint on our stencil and make it pop.
For this, I used two symbols from one of the games I play.
One was based on the class White Mage, which is a class which bases its self on healing.
The other one I used was a tank Symbol, this class is called Gunbreaked and of course it mainly about attacking.

I picked the White Mage symbol because It's the class I play
And I picked the Gunbreaker symbol because one of the characters who follow you in your journey is a Gunbreaker.

-----------------------------

Subject Matter

Form

Composition / Space

Content / 

Meaning

What is the subject matter of your stencil? A Mickey Mouse? Gumboots? Kowhaiwhai?

My subject matter is a pair of symbols that gives off a name. The one on the left is Called GunBreaker, and the one on the right is called White Mage. These symbols are symbols of a class from a game called FFXIV
Gunbreaker is a tank while White Mage is a healer.



Does your colour set a mood or structure the picture space?

Not really using colour (Used Black and Whites) 

What is the chief interest of your painting? The stencil shape? The negative space?

The Stencil’s themselves as I know the meaning around them.

Does your stencil express any values or ideas? 


My symbols represent a class, The round symbol with the circle in the middle is the healing class White mage.

While the symbol that seems mirrored is the tank class GunBreaker.

Is your stencil subject matter a symbol? A logo? A portrait? Something else?

A symbol 

Are the colours related in bold contrasts or gradual transitions (blends)?

No colours used

Stencils are quite flat. Have you used overlap to create space?

No I didn’t. overlap

Is the meaning of your stencil changed by the way you paint it?  repeating the stencil shape?


Nope 

Have combined your stencil with other imagery? For e.g., used it in a landscape?

No, but I’ve added texture to the ground and my image.

Does your painting use a variety of applications of paint? Have you used Impasto or flat painting? A wash, stippling or drybrush? 


Used stippling with a brush to give the work texture.

Tone and Colour contrast create space. Do your colours react against each other? Move forward or backwards in space?

Not really because I only used the shades of Black and White.

How does repeating a stencil symbol change its meaning? Does it have more emphasis or less? 


Didn’t repeat or overlap

Does your subject matter change? Is the painting more about the colour, form, texture, and space than the stencil subject matter?


Still about the stencil

What kind of texture does your painting have? Were you able to control this effect?

A rough kind of texture. Yes I was able to, before I did my final work, I did a single piece of only the Gun Breaker symbol with the same texture in the background to see the results.

Does the repeated placement of your stencil create any focal points or leading lines?


Nope

How does the colour used change the meaning of the stencil? For e.g.,if a Batman symbol is painted in pink colour? 


The original Symbols are all in black, I just changed it to white but it still gives off the same reasoning 


Image of the final thing
The two small pictures are my trials and the big thing is my final with both of the symbols put together.


English II Workshop 3

Workshop 3 - How are costumes used to enhance the story?

Where are these shots from? + What is happening
  • Katniss, Effie, Gale, Peeta, D12 Citizens, Primrose, Peace-Keepers
  • Beginning
  • Costumes D12 - Poor clothing, grey, worn, dull, simple, limited, best clothes for the reaping scene,
  • costumes reflect the setting
  • Food Source
What themes are we exploring?
  • Rich v Poor
  • Capitol = Rich ones
  • Effie
Describe the features of costume
  • bright colours, more designed/fashionable, has makeup, jewellery
-----------------------------

In the reaping scene, Costumes are used effectively to show the theme of Rich v Poor.
We see this when the people of District 12 are waiting for someone to be chosen to represent their District. The lifestyle of District 12 is reflected in the clothes that they wear. These clothes are made of a limited material, they are dull and boring. This makes us understand that costumes represent the theme rich v poor, in the capitol and the Districts. There is a difference between the opportunity, power and privilege between District 12 and the Capitol. The director did this to make the audience understand how costumes can symbolise the inequality between the Capitol and the Districts. This symbolisms combined with a wide shot of the crowd in District 12 and an over the shoulder shot of Effie reveal the lack of opportunity in district 12 and the power of the capitol. This aspect can be contrasted to the character of Effie, she wears a bright pink outfit that has a lot of design behind it revealing the opportunities given to characters in the Capitol.

Reflection For Last Weeks PE II PE

Last week in PE the spots we had a play with was Netball, football and basketball.
I mainly focused on Netball as I had an understanding of the game because I played it back in primary school for winter sports.

I feel for teamwork in Netball was good, I was involved with everyone else and managed to have fun in Netball as when I was young and played it, it wasn't that fun because people were either taller than you or no one passed to you.
But I feel I did well in it.

I put myself in Level 4
because
I always have my PE gear and I'm always trying to get involved with others. and I'm making sure I'm always on task with my work.

Budgeting II Math


The Themes of The Hunger Games II English

Themes are an important part of a film as it gives the director an idea of how they will direct the movie.
Some of the themes I noticed throughout The Hunger Games were
  • Rich v Poor
  • Hope and Rebellion
  • Propaganda
Task - Find Quotes from characters in the film and explain why they are important in showing each theme. Present these in a creative way.

Katniss - How will they change you?
Peeta - I Don't know. Turn me into something I'm not. I just don't want to be another piece in their game, you know? 

This quote by mainly Peeta shows and portrays the theme of Propaganda. Propaganda can be seen as a way to control people to your bidding in large groups sort of like Manipulation. When Peeta says this, it shows that he's struggling in his role as a tribute for his district. In the hunger games, a tribute is a sort of like a district's hope Because if someone from said District wins the game it means that the district that person was from gets extra food for their entire district. But because the aim of the Hunger Games is to kill other opposing players from different districts and be the last standing Peeta's having a hard time coping with his role in the game because he's afraid that if he kills people he won't be the same person he was before he entered the games, and would turn into a pawn for the Capitol.

Hope, it is the only thing stronger than fear. A little hope is effective, a lot of hope is dangerous. A spark is fine, as long as it's contained. - President Snow
So... - Seneca Crane
So, Contain it! - President Snow
This quote by mainly President Snow shows us the theme of Hope & Rebellion It gives us an understanding of just how powerful hope is. Because we know the power hope has right from the start, hope can be given or seen in any situation whether it is life-threatening or not. A scene in the hunger games that harbours hope for the players is when Seneca talks of the coms and announces that any district that still has two people left in their district and are the last people standing will automatically make them the winners of the game and the game would end. This gave the players a sense of motivation and hope to continue on and win the game.

Caesar Flickerman - Katniss Everdeen, the girl on fire!
This quote may not seem it but it's hidden them is Hope & Rebellion but mainly Rebellion. In the middle start of the movie and near the ending it's shown that Katniss has a sense of rebelling which can be seen when she shoots the apple in the pig's mouth from down below when up above are judges from the Capitol and near the ending when Katniss cheats the system and decided that if She and Peeta can't both win then they'll leave the game with no winner. This quote may not seem like much to represent but during the tribute parade, Katniss is seen wearing all black and having wings of flames. In Katniss's district, it's seen that most of all the men are all Coal miners. The black of Katniss outfit representing the coal and the flames representing a spark to ignite the coal and in all ignite Katniss's.

Gale Hawthrone - Oh yeah, I forgot something *brings out the bread*
Katniss Everdeen - Oh my God! is this real?
Gale Hawthrone - Better be. It cost me a squirrel.
This quote is a representation of the theme of Rich v Poor and gives us an idea of how poor the districts are, mainly District 12 in this case. In the movie, it is shown that money is rarely used and is only used for things such as cotton or little accessories, while the rest of the needed items someone may need to survive on is bought by trading what you already have for something else. In Gale's case, he traded a dead squirrel for a piece of bread, something which may not seem worth trading for in today's era, but its worth it to them as throughout the start of the movie we get a rundown on how District 12 looks and what the people wear, throughout that scene there is an old man sitting in a chair eating off any chicken that is left on the chicken bone. Nowadays we wouldn't really do that but in their case wasting food isn't an option as it's hard to come by and to obtain unless you have a skill in hunting.

Workshop 2 II Linking themes to the impact of Angle movements II English

The Hunger Games: Katniss and Peeta Reaping Scene
Camera movement details and Camera Angle Details
When it starts off, the camera is moving in a slow but unsteady long shot getting us a good view of the crowd full of district 12.
We get a few medium shots of Katniss
A close-up shot of Katniss on stage
Close up shots of the three-finger salute
A mid shot of Peeta in the crowd
as well as a close up on his face.
A Low Angle looking up at Katniss
And a long shot and dutch tilt from when Katniss yells out that she volunteers for her sister

------------------------
Terms
  • Katniss volunteers = Dutch Tilt (Vulnerability) + Long Shot
  • High angle on Effie - displays power over the crowd
  • Camera is shaky - uncertainty, mid/long
  • The costume of Effie is revealed in a close-up
  • Katniss and Gale - close up - cutting establishes a connection between characters
  • Close-ups of Katniss's face, pre-existing connection between them
  • Low angle - flag of Panem
The reaping scene - How do we see themes
Rich v Poor
  • Effie's close - close up - showing how rich she is
  • Wide shot - Nobody in D12 has any real material wealth
  • Compare and contrast - people of District 12 v Capitol
------------------------
Sexxy Paragraph
Statement
In the Reaping scene in The Hunger Games, the idea of Rich v Poor is explained through the use of wide shots and close-ups. The comparison between the wealth of the Capitol, represented by Effie, and the poorness of District 12 is seen in the wide shot of the people gathered at the reaping. A close-up shot of Effie reveals quality, colourful make-up and costume. The wide shot of the crowd is used to show that they are forced to be there. This wide shot also shows a lack of colour in the population of District 12's material and costume to show they are poor.

Hunger Games II English II Film Study


In the movie, The Hunger Game, directed by Gary Ross, Close up shots are used effectively throughout the movie to show how the characters are feeling. For example, when a close-up shot of Katniss at the Tribute Parade is shown with her looking around constantly at a rapid pace. This makes us understand that Katniss is nervous with all the people who she's never seen in her life yelling and cheering at her and others who are present in the parade. The purpose of this is to show the aduiance just how nervous Katniss is about the whole thing. The director did this to give us a feeling on how Katniss felt about the parade and being in it. This worked well with the close up shots of the people in the crowd and a shot of Katniss's face on a banner so we can have a feeling of how she feels during the parade. This can be juxtaposed to the tribute parade in Catching fire where we get another close up shot of Katniss but instead of anoxuis or nervous she's sort of stern becuase she knows whats going on this time around.

20th Century Technology Timeline II Social Studies


20th Century II Essay II Technology II Social Studies

Introduction (Intro)
During the 20th Century when World War 1 (1914 - 1918) and World War 2 (1939 - 1945) happened a
lot of the technology that we created and used had evolved over time. Some of the biggest changes
in technology were inventions made for war in the 20th Century. Some of these included Tanks,
Bombs, and Submarines. The side of technology that evolved during that time period which wasn’t war
based included. Television, (With Color) Microwaves, Spacecrafts and lastly Internet. Some of these
have changed to where they are no longer complicated looking and are  easier to understand and use
for our own benefit. Some of these objects have evolved over the time of our daily lives and changed
it for the best or for the worst.

Law
Most of the technological weapons that we use today started developing and improving themselves
in the 20th century during World War 1 & 2. Some of these weapons were Tanks, Submarines and guns.
Tanks were used by both sides of the war to shoot down enemies and buildings while also being
protected at the same time. Submarines were for underwater activities from out of eyesight, used to
strike down enemies on the sea from below them. Guns were used from behind the sandbags to
shoot across the field and shoot down incoming enemies. Most of these weapons are still used today
in the armies. One of them, the gun is used nowadays by not only the army but also the FBI and the
Police Force to help out and protect the citizens.

One of the most feared and said to be popular tanks in World War 2 was a tank made in 1942 by the
Germans. When a need for a new tank had become pressing when some of their men were trapped
in Stalingrad were in need of help.  The Panther tank  dealt devastating damage. One of Germany's top
Panther commanders was SS-Oberscharführer Ernst Barkmann. By the end of World war 2 he had
destroyed about 80 tanks with the Panther, truly showing how terrifying the tank itself is.

Panther tank - Wikipedia

The USS Greyback, so called because it had a grey back, was used by the US in WW2. The Greyback was sunk during a bombing attack by  a Japanese naval bomber in February 1944 along with 80 of the crew who lived on the ship. Seventy-five years later on June 5th,  2019 the wreck of the submarine was rediscovered within Japan’s seas

While the war was going on other things that didn’t involve warfare were also created. Going from Cars,
TVs, and Microwaves, something that we all use in the 21st Century. The first Affordable car released
for purchase in the 20th Century which started its production in 1908 and was released for people in
America in 1927 was the Ford Model T made by the Ford Motor Company and went for the price of
$850. (Which is equivalent to $12,340.56 in 2020).
While in 1950 the Microwave or Microwave Oven was created by accident when a self-taught American
engineer by the name of Percy Spencer noticed that the Microwave he was creating was melting the
chocolate in his pocket from the Active Radar coming from the Microwave. Till this very day we still
use Microwaves but nowadays they're less complicated and easier to use and to understand.
Conclusion (Sum Up)
Most of the weapons we use today can be linked to weapons that were used in the past. Most of these weapons are still used in 2020 in the armies and now as well in the Police Force so they can protect the citizens.
Many of the things we have created in the 20th Century have improved to become better and stronger over time. People who create cars have started making electric cars so we don’t pollute the air anymore, and Tv’s are no longer small and now give us a more vivid and bigger view to look at. But even though so many things have changed and evolved over time these products till this very day are still evolving and improving for the better or worse for the future.

Reflection II English II Film Study


Over the last past few weeks in English, we've been focusing on Film Study and the movie The Hunger Games.
When we first started off the hunger games we watched the movie for fun
And the second time we watched it was for details for the Essay we would make on the film.
When we were watching the film for the second time for details we followed a theme. There were four themes that we followed

Themes
Hope & Rebellion
Rich vs Poor
The Struggle For Power
&
The Power Of Propaganda

The first time we rewatched the movie for detail, we went over the difference between the Capitol and District 12. We also went over the reaping scene. For this, we had to add down what we saw, and what we heard.
(We used the theme Rich vs Poor for this)

The second time we watched the movies for details we did a comparison to the reaping scene and the interview at the start of the movie (Tribute Parade) we also added down what the three-finger salute meant in the movie. as well as some camera shots that may have been seen throughout the movie.

The third time we added the themes such as The Struggle For Power, The Power of Propaganda and Hope and Rebellion. we first started off by looking through the three themes, and adding down what we thought was hope or propaganda. We then looked through the quotes that were littered throughout the movie and wrote them down. we then did Hope and Rebellion itself and stuck down the moments that we remember where Katniss either rebelled or when Katniss and Petta experienced hope throughout the movie. and last but not least we looked at the Opening cards and the opening scene. For the Opening cards, we wrote down terms that related to the movie for E.g - Reaping - Where 1 girl and 1 boy are selected from each district to partake in The Hunger Games.
And then, at last, we looked through the opening scene which gave us a small history of the hunger games and a quote.

Hope & Rebellion II Hunger Games II English

Hope & Rebellion 

Hope and Rebellion in The Hunger Games, isn't a much-seen theme but it's still there and it differently goes along with the story and makes up the characters and gives us an insight on things.
There are only a few times where we see hope, one's in the scene of the announcement the game master makes telling the contestants that if two people from the same district are alive then they can win. This gives the players a sense of hope to win the game.
Rebellion can also be seen a bit by katniss as she cheats the system at the near end of the game.

Hunger games II English II Workshop

Themes Workshop
Group 2

Workshop 1 - Unpacking Themes and Idea's
Theme - Rich vs Poor

----------------------

What do I think this theme means? -
I think this Rich vs Poor theme is based on the Capitol for its richness, with all their fancy clothes and high tech technology and District 12 for its poorness with their raggy washed out clothes and broken destroyed houses and their ancient ways of technology.

Detail - District 12 is in the past while the Capitol is in the future

----------------------
RICH VS POOR

Class 10 WD
Definiton + Terminology + Money + Acess to food, privileges, technology, assumpitons, life-style


Rich 
  • The Capitol - Dialogue, Accent, Posh, Snooty
  • Clothing - Colourful, bright neon,
  • Buildings - Concrete, glass, metal, 
  • Advanced Technology
  • Food - Rich food, high quality, many varieties  - Roast pig.
  • Setting - Environment = Establish shots
  • Posh music, Futuristic
  • Children are playing with toys
  • Urban

Poor
  • D12 = Coal mining - bartering
  • Unsafe - Diseases - 
  • Illegal hunting - 
  • Man Picking bones - 
  • Clothing - Simple, Washed out, old fashioned, ragged
  • Children are plating in the mud
  • Rural

Paragraph = Follow the sentence starters

In The Hunger Games, Directed by Gary Ross, Costumes are used effectively to show the theme of Rich vs Poor. For example in the Capitol the costumes are very posh, they are neat, tidy, colourful even their dogs are coloured. The material is futuristic and this makes us understand that the Capitol is more advanced than District 12. The Director did this to create a contrast between the costumes, in District 12 the costumes are older, the materials used are natural and well worn. This difference shows that there are privileges to living in the Capitol.

What I think makes a successful paragraph

I think to make a successful paragraph you need to be able to make your statement clear on what you're talking about so people won't be confused and instantly turned off on reading what you've written. I also think it's a good idea to link back to your theme and to the start of your sentence.

Hope is very powerful.
Something that knits us all together.

PE Reflection II PE

For the last 2 weeks, we've been doing volleyball and learning all its actions and how to play it.
This week we've been doing a few rounds of volleyball in teams. starting off with a practice and then getting into a game. I feel that I'm getting better at my serving but could improve in my arm power in hitting the ball and learn to put more force when hitting the ball when it comes from above me.

I am in the function green section (Self-Direction)
Because I have been on task
I always have my PE uniform and always have the equipment I may need
I did my best to talk with my teammates even if I didn't get along with some of them and cheered them on for doing their best.
