At the moment in DVC we are doing a rendering internal. We had to design a bottle. We drew the bottle 3 times and coloured each one as different materials. They were clear plastic, solid plastic and stainless steel.

What did I like? I liked the middle bottle the best. I think the pink and purple worked well together the most.

What didn't I like? The dark blue on the first lid looks weird and the work is unfinished.

Art 1.2 Update

My next steps are to completely finish artworks that are half done and to focus on what I need to do and get them done. Also to make more artworks that link to the artist I've chosen (Sofia Minson & Shane Cotton). As well as researching the work done by Marilyn Webb.

The Diary Of Anne Frank-Play

1. How does viewing this text through a child’s perspective change the way we experience it? Explain using an example from the text. Doesn't understand the world yet so their ideas aren't fully developed unlike adults. There opinions haven't been properly formed yet. Sympathy for them.
2. How would this text be different if it were told from the perspective of an adult? How would the audience’s experience be different? More stressful. They adults are more aware of how everything is rather than the kids. Their perspective is more hopeless and and they want to survive way more than the kids do.
3. Why did the filmmaker or author decide to tell this story from a child’s perspective? Because it's also important to see the perspective from a child's point of view rather than an adult. It's also something different and it shows just how kids see things as well and their reactions to the situations/problems happening around them.
4. How are children represented in the text? How are adults represented in the text? Children were shown as selfish, naive, annoying, talkative, loud, gullible and curious. Adults were shown as selfish, thieves, fighting, more serious, semi-educated.
5. Does imagination help the young hero to cope? How so? Provide an example. Yes because it's something different and it's a way for Anne to write to someone who isn't actually visible to the eye. An example of this would be every time she writes inside her diary.
6. Does this text connect in any other ways to the other texts you have read/viewed? How so? Provide evidence and explain. Yes the way that this play has all been written can link back to Jojo Rabbit. For example they were both shown from a child's perspective rather than an adults. They were pure, innocent and ignorant. A better example would be that Jojo and Anne were both Jewish and in the end were afraid of the Nazis.

Artwork Update

Spiritual and Cultural is my kaupapa for Art. My main focus is on my family and where I'm from. Including the country I'm from to the beliefs, morals and values passed down to me. This is building me up into the person I am. The reason I chose this as my theme is because it's something I can relate to a lot and it's not only important to me but also for my family. It's also plays a huge role in my life.

My choice of picking spiritual and cultural as my kaupapa wasn't because I would enjoy it. I chose this because it this particular theme has impacted me in a way to help with building me into the person I am now. Also, it is helping me build my relationship between my culture and expanding my knowledge about where I come from and the person I am beginning to evolve into.

I have constantly been researching a lot and reconnecting with things I have lost but are now gaining back. My research has been based around things that are currently in my family in both the spiritual and cultural sides of things.

The work below is a display of wings. They're unfinished and need some adjusting as it is not quite done yet. There is also a meaning behind the reason I have chosen to do wings. It represents one of my grandparents. It's not just a pair of wings that I have drawn just because I like wings. I chose to draw this as a representation of my grandfather who had passed down the values, knowledge etc to me and my family. By this meaning it relates back into the spiritual kind of things.

Here is one thing that I've been researching on. Obviously the cross represents my religion.

Art-Update

In Art, my kaupapa is based around Spiritual and Cultural. I will mainly focus on my family and where I come from. This includes the country I'm from up to my beliefs and values that helps build me into the person I am. The reason I am choosing this as my theme is that it is important to me as well as my family and helps me identify with who I am.

I didn't pick spiritual and cultural as my kaupapa just because I liked the thought of doing it and the thought of thinking that it was an easy task. I picked this because it has impacted me in a way to help identify who I am. Also, it is helping me build my relationship between my culture and expanding my knowledge about where I come from and the person I am beginning to evolve into.

This is the outcome of my tree I have drawn for Art

Questions About Connections

In English, we are starting to learn about connections. At the moment we are learning about connections with the film Jojo Rabbit directed by Taika Waititi.

How does viewing this text through a child’s perspective change the way we experience it? Explain using an example from the text.
Not as much experience compared to adults. Their innocence.

How would this text be different if it were told from the perspective of an adult? How would the audience’s experience be different?

It would have a deeper meaning compared to seeing a child's perspective and it would be more serious.

Why did the filmmaker or author decide to tell this story from a child’s perspective?

So the audience wouldn't find it so offensive. Since children have more of a pure soul, seeing something which is darker and deeper would change the way we see it. This is because we went from watching something quite humorous then later on changed into a darker theme.

How are children represented in the text? How are adults represented in the text? Children were represented how we would normally imagine them to be. For example, full of happiness and joy. Excited about every little thing they look forward to or found interesting. However, the adults were more secretive and didn't really show us what they were actually feeling.

Does imagination help the young hero cope? How so? Provide an example.

In the beginning, his imaginary friend Hitler was not only a way to help him cope but to also help him follow a certain path to get him into being a Nazi. However, over time he started seeing different people's perspectives and changed his views of how he saw everything which changed his imaginary friend into something that didn't help him in the end. For example, at the start of the movie, Hitler was giving Jojo some advice about what he should do.

Does this text connect in any other ways to the other texts you have read/viewed? How so? Provide evidence and explain.

Charcoal Drawings

For art I have decided to go with Spiritual and Cultural as my kaupapa. Both images I have done so far link back to parts of my family and where I originate from. The crown represents the crowning of my late grandfather who was crowned Vaeruarangi Ariki (chief) of a village in the Cook Islands called Ureia. This relates to my kaupapa as it is something which was taken seriously and runs through the family. However, only males are allowed to take the title. The second image represents the family tree on both my mum and dads side. This relates back to my kaupapa as it is somewhat links back to the spiritual side of things. So far, I have learned to try new things using both charcoal and coloured charcoal to help enhance the outcome of my work. I also learned that it is quite challenging using charcoal for the first time but later on it got a bit easier. Things I plan on doing next are finishing of the tree and starting on more artworks that are yet to come.

Both artworks I have done so far are below this

Level One Art What Is My Art Kaupapa?

What Is My Art Kaupapa?

For my kaupapa this year, I will be focusing mainly on Spiritual and Cultural.

The reason I am choosing this as my theme is because it is something that is important to me as well as my family and helps me identify with who I am.

The media I will work with is Paint and Design.

From 1.1 I have selected two artist which are: Sofia Minson and Shane Cotton from list one, and Vincent Van Gogh and Banksy from list two.

For my kaupapa the artist in which I am interested in is Franz Marc.

Here are my notes about my thinking for my kaupapa:

           

Metaphor and Simile Examples

Halo-Beyonce

Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You’re the only one that I want
Think I’m addicted to your light

Youngblood-5 Seconds of Summer

Say you want me out of your life
And I'm just a dead man walking tonight

Metaphor
Simile
