Maori Art Design - Maori Art

What have I learnt? I learnt that Maori Art are important to Maori Culture and ta moko ( Tattoo ), Maori Art have these colour black, red and white feature strongly in Maori Art. The colour red is a symbol of mana (prestige, power, status) and they often used in the decoration of important items such as building and structures. The second thing I learnt was that Traditional Maori art was created using the material available at the time, such as wood, bone, pounamu (Jade or greenstone),paua shell, flax and feathers.

I did a design and used Maori Art. I'm not really sure if it's Maori art or not.

This drawing means dragon in Maori.

Charlotte's Web Theme

Loneliness

Wilbur felt loneliness like me but mine was kinda same or different from Wilbur

In Charlotte's Web film, the moment that Wilbur got so lonely was when he got separated from fern, then Wilbur got separated and got send to a new place that has many different animals, some of the animals tried to talk to him or make him feel better but Wilbur doesn't talk to them because he's lonely and wants fern to be with him.

The loneliness I felt in real life was kinda same like Wilbur, the loneliness I experienced was that I got send to a new school 2 times in Philippines, in the first school, I had many friends and we always play together but then I got send to a new school because we moved to our grandma house on a field, the school was far from our grandma's house, then the first thing I did in my new class was just sit there silently and I didn't talk with someone, they talked to me but I didn't response to them because it's my first time having a new class and felt lonely because I don't have someone to talk to or play, after few days later I made a friend again but then got send to a new school again because it's  nearer than the far school and it happened the same thing what happened to my new first class, just like Wilbur got send to a new place like me but in different place.

My Word Math Game

In the past few weeks, we have been making our maths game, our group made a simple maths game and it's on slide so it's called Slide Math Game, we did some editing on slide about the maths game and it took many editing to complete the game.

The game is Word Maths Game, there are different words meaning for add, divide, multiply, and subtracts like for example, take away means minus, put together means add, and product means multiply, that's how the game work you need to know what are the words mean if it is a multiply,add,subtracts or divide.
Here's our word cloud, and game ideas.
Our group searched and made a word cloud about add, subtract, multiply and divide.

This is our Math Game on a slide, we did some funny stuffs on the slides and we hope you like it.
How to play the game: There are some words that has like line under on them that's where you click it to go to the next slide. You must click all the correct answer to finish the game.
Remember to not look the answers above.
We presented this group work by making a video clip.
Here's the video clip: Click ME!

Calculation squares on a grid

This week in Maths, I learnt how to calculate grids, we used and calculate the outside squares of  10 x 10 square on a grid with 2 different ways of solving it on the outside perimeter.

What I did on this is that I first work out of the outside squares of 10 x 10 square, then the ten squares
on the 4 sides of the square, I added them and take away the 4 corners because the 4 corners has doubled squares. There's also one thing that the numbers can be turned to letters and it's called algebra.
 

Here's the 2 ways of solving the grid:
1.) The first way of solving a grid is 10+9+9+8 = 36 by knowing it, we counted the squares all around the square, if you do it in mathematical way it would be like this n + n-1 + n-1 + n-2, the definition of the letter n is 10 but n isn't always 10, it can be any numbers than 10.

2.) Here's how we confirm that you can make the n any number, the second way solving it is, 9+9+9+9 = 36 or in mathematical way n-1 + n-1 + n-1 + n-1 = 36, you know that the definition of n is 10 but you can make n to any numbers than 10.

Workshop 3 - English

How colour used to create the two world:
Predominent - the most
                       - Obvious
Real world:
Colours : Dark/ Grey, Grey, Blue, Green, White
Feels: Boring, Sad, Cold, Lonely, Gloomy, Dull
Coraline's dad is writing
He is trying to focus and she's trying to annoy him

The colour palette is the office is predomiantly made up of blues and greys. This creates an atmosphere of gloom, lonelyness and boredom. This is combined with the use of a cold light from the window. The director has used this palette because in this moment Coraline feels sad and ignored by her father who is too busy working to spend time with her.



Other world:
Colour: Red, orange, blue in places
Feels: Colourful, warm light, Bright
Always night time
other father at the piano

In the 'other' office, the predominat colours are red and orange. This combined with the use of a warm light creates a mood of  cheerfulness, curiosity, and safety. The director chose this colour palette because Coraline has just arrived in the other world and met the other father who wants to spend time with her. 

Both: At the end of the film the colour palette have reversed with the other world becoming dark and gloomy and the real world becoming bright and colourful. This shows Coralines changing her perspective as she becomes happier at home.

The middle scene: ( Other World )

Predominent colours in this palette are all bright colours

The colours create an atmosphere of warm lights and happiness

The director used these colours because to make Coraline not feel lonely anymore like in the real world she feels lonely there.

Coraline - Lighting

Shot 1 - Boring, cold, empty, sad, lonely, dull
Cloudy/misty through the window which makes it feel cold, uses a cold light to make it feel like she doesn't want to be there.

Lighting is used effectively in this shot of the real world kitchen to make it feel dull, depressing and lonely.
This is achieved by using a cold light through the cloudy window.
The director has chosen this lighting to remind us that Coralines real world is boring and lifeless compared to the other world behind the door.

Red, White, and Blue
- use when you have several ideas to convey about a topic.
E.g In this image, lighting is used to make the room feel empty, cold, and depressing.

Shot 2 - Warm, delightful, happy, bright, welcoming, inviting, safe, enthusiastic.
Use of a yellow/orange warm light.
Outside is night but room feels safe
Meets other parents for the first time.
Coraline is confused but likes them

In the other kitchen we see more things and a sense of delight, security and welcoming
Lighting is used to create this through the use of a yellow/orange warm light from a bulb above the table. The director has done this to highlight the positive relationship between Coraline and her other parents. Whilst her real parents ignore her, the other parent acknowledge and want to spend time with her. This is re-enforced by the contrasting use of col and white light in Coralines real world.
