English reflection

This year English has been pretty good,At the start of the year I wasn’t too sure about most writing styles but now I have learnt a little bit,I had always known things like personification and onomatopoeia but this year I have really learnt about it properly.My favourite creative writing style task would definitely have to be “slam poetry”I really find it inspirational and would love to learn more about it.I also would like to practice it one day.In conclusion English this year has thought me a few things but I would like to learn about slam poetry next and how it works and how you can make your own great poetry items just like the professionals

English creative writing

slam poetry

Te kahu rolleston performances  was my favourite poetry slam poet

A quote that really spoke to me was  "forced to merge and lose each others unique diversity"  i think thats what happens when we grow up i guess kinda lose our original personality and try to be the same as everyone losing our unique diversity

Art and shading

The art form of shading

Have you improved your understanding of tone/shading?

yes I think I did I was only here for 1 lesson on this so i think that i have gained a lot of knowledge of shading.

Do you think that drawing structure can help you draw better?

I do believe so,I think that starting from a strong structure point helps you set up for the rest of your artwork.I feel like it makes the artwork look cleaner 

What are you going to work on going forward  in pencil drawings in and out of class

 Im going to make sure I can shape my artworks better and make them look better using perspective
