Resilience Board

 Hello everyone! 

In Wananga we were assigned to do some activities on a resilience board 

The resilience board is all about activities based on not giving up and still trying and positive vibes. 

I picked the 7th one, where we research some things about someone in the following slide, I chose J.K. Rowling since I am a huge fan of the Harry Potter series. I didn't know how much she suffered before she published the books, she kept trying and never gave up. 

Thank you so much for viewing my blog, have a nice day! <3 

Reflection of Art

 Hello everyone!

we have been doing lots of things in Art, including making creatures with clay, making a stop motion, flip books, etc. For the stop motion film my group and I (Lita, Shawn, Me) picked a topic on Poseidon fighting Tangaroa for a piece of land. we sketched out some of the characters on paper and brain stormed the development of some of the characters, we are still thinking of the scenery but i have some ideas like a underwater town and a shipwreck. 

Our teacher assigned us to make a little minion out of the clay we had. this is what they looked like

my Minion was the one at the back with its hand up :)

We also had to make a brain storm on manaakitanga including stuff like what it means and how to express kindness towards everyone. 

when we started making flip books we made our own kind of short animation/topic and added a sequence of drawings that match a movement that create a little animation. The animation was created by someone flicking the book with their thumb or finger, my flip book was about a heart turning into someones eye crying. 

Thank you for reading this have a good day or night bye! <3
