In the Yr 8 art class with Ms. Shaw, we are doing the “big hair project” to learn different techniques, and to have somnme fun. The way we do this, is:

1. We take a photo of ourselves, (the sillier the better)
2. We cut out the sihlouette of us, (you can either keep your og hair or make yourself bald)
3. We glue the sihlouette onto a long rectangle peice of paper,
4. We trace a massive whatever on top of your head foor your hair,
5. We color in the massive shape, adding in patterns and designs along the way,
6. And then you can choose to color in the background, or you can leave it blank.

The hardest part for me was probably finding the inspiration for the designs /patterns, and the choosing of the colors Overall this was a really fun experience, and I can’t wait to finish it.

I used coloured ink such as white, a dark blue and a black fine liner pen.

I flicked white coloured ink onto the background of the art. It came out and looked like a night sky.

I did Maori patterns for my hair, 2 sharks on the side with Maori patterns in them and I did a maori design strip on the bottom of my page. And I did a big french mustache.

This is me working on my big hair art piece.

I am using a thin paint brush and green Indian ink, to show the plants growing from my head as my ideas grow.

In science, we made oobleck, which has some interesting properties. The oobleck forms into a solid when you are moving fast but when it starts to fall out of your hand it turns into a liquid and it goes soft.  If you keep moving it in your hand then it will stay in a solid and if  you stop moving it, it turns into a liquid.

On Wednesday mornings we have been going to surfing.  We have learned how to surf, but that is not the main reason we are there.  We are there to be better people.  My favourite part is the surfing.  Charles and Janine are some of the nicest people to ever exist, and their granddaughter also comes and helps us. We have a little schedule where if the water looks nice, we surf first, then after we have lunch. After we have eaten and more settled we do a workshop. Then sometimes we watch a bit of our movie.

Today I did my clouds and end of my mountain. The cloud will say “Aotearoa” with the little cloud in the corner saying “NZ”.

A boy was on the table being silly he then fell off and broke his hand.

The only thing he got out of it was a tell off.

I just use a lot of white paint with my thing but made it way weirder then I thought and using blue and green and I made some swirly paterns. It was meant to be for just out lines and doing dots but it made me mess thats because I dont really like art at all but I like the back round I made but it was nice.
