Apply knowledge about shapes and patterns derived from nature into an original artwork.


Visual Art: WALT: Apply knowledge about shapes and patterns derived from nature into an original artwork


For Visual Art the SOLO level I achieved was: i am at the relational level.


The 3 Visual Art techniques I used in my art work to achieve this level were: Glazing, moving water colors, shading with water colors.

My next step in visual art is: to know how to do them off by hart.


Here is a photo of my artwork:






Identify classes of two- and three-dimensional shapes by their geometric properties.

I learnt how to Identify classes of two- and three-dimensional shapes by their geometric properties.

Nothing was challenging apart from the last one which was that we had to make a net for a pyroxene crystal.

This is what mine turned out like..

I can take action to improve the water cycle in Canterbury.



I can take action to improve the water cycle in Canterbury

In this project I was working with Levi and we decided to create… An water fliter.

Here is a what we made.

In this project we decided that our success criteria were:  
A good TV ad, water filter or Children’s Story needs...
Why is this important?
To work
So it works and not a waste of money and it works multiple times.
To look good
So it suits with your style in your home
useful
So it actually produces clean water and people can drink it and they do not get sick.
Small ish
So its not to big but not to small so it doesn’t take too much space.
decorative
So it works with your style and looks good. And it blends in with all of your home


Overall our project met not meet this criteria because... It met the criteria but it was a FAIL!

My progress so far in CARE.

CARE: My progress so far


The CARE award that I am working towards is:  silver


The one area of CARE that I am doing best in is: Active thinking          because: thats what im doing best in.


The one area of CARE that I need to work harder in is:  Respect            because: thats what im not doing best in.


To show my leadership qualities I am a role model to others in the CARE values by doing/showing these leadership traits: be aware of others.


On the CARE SOLO matrix below I am at this SOLO level: relational            because: that's where i am at.



Prestructural

Unistructural

Multistructural

Relational

Extended Abstract
I am not aware of the CARE values yet.
I know what the CARE values mean.

I need help to use them.
I can use the CARE values.


I need reminding to use them.
I can use the CARE values independently.
I can use the CARE values independently.

I can role model to others how to use the CARE values.

The water cycle

The water cycle describes how earth’s water is not only changing forms but also moving on,
above and in the earth. This process is always happening all the time all around us.

Evaporation is When water on earth eg: lakes, rivers and the ocean is heated by the sun then from liquid to gas, and the hotter it is the more evaporation happens. Evaporation is happening around us and we can't see it. After the water has finished evaporating then it starts to condense.

When the water vapor has risen into sky then it cools significantly when it comes into contact with the cooler found up higher. If the water vapor cools to anything above zero degrees centigrade, it will condense as water. If perspiration occurs in conditions which are particularly cold or have very low air pressure then these water droplets can freeze. After precipitation it starts to fall and turn into runoff.

After the water has fallen and the soil has became saturated or the snow has melted the water follows gravity and falls down any hills. The direction in which the water is known as streamflow. When more snow falls then evaporation or sublimates will compact densely to form what are know as ice caps. Due to the amount of water stored in snow or ice sudden increase or heat can lead to flooding.


The water cycle is an continues cycle and it never started and it never ends.
