Art + Math + Biodiversity = ??

 Hey Guys, Gals and Non binary pals.

Today we (as in year 7 and 8) did Math Art! Art math..? I don't know. We were meant to go onto a trip today but it got postponed because of the weather. Back to what this post is about, we did focused on Symmetry. 

What is Symmetry do you ask? It's basically something that's mirrored or the same on both sides in other words. Since we were learning about Biodiversity we chose to draw different types of bugs and creatures. I chose a ladybug thinking it'd be easy. But no, you HAVE to add a certain patterning just to make your life harder.

All jokes by the way, and hey! It snowed which was quite cooL! So weird things be weird I guess.

So I did a couple of different types of patterns, honestly I just drew random things and called it a pattern I guess. So I drew it all by myself! With the help of a reference of course. After I did the layout and some patterning, I used a lightbox to trace the other side. It was quite difficult because I couldn't see much of the lines.

Anyways if you like my work! Then I don't know, put a thumbs up in the comments.

Reflection:
it was quite hard because I couldn't focus. It was just be being clueless and doing something else, other then drawing this. But I guess it was okayy

Question(s): How would you rate my work?

Easter Triduum, ART!

Hello, uhh.

So for a couple of weeks we've been learning about Holy Week. So as some of you know, Holy Week is every important. Because y'know a lot happened.

Anyways for my art I picked to do two crowns! Now the crown with the palms is where Jesus arrives in Jerusalem. And the people fanned him with the Palm and put there Garnets on the floor.

The second one with the purple background is the crown of thorns. That's when the guards make fun of Jesus and made the crown of thorns for him.

The process was simple actually. So First you sketch your design on the portrait paper. Colour it with oil pastels. Cut them into strips and glue them on a bigger piece of paper. Do the same with the other picture.

After that you fold it so it looks like a concertina, then Boom! You're done, just look at your beautiful artwork from different angles!

Anyways Here's Mine! 

Reflection:

Um, this was actually pretty fun! And I enjoyed it a lot. But the one thing I didn't enjoy was having oil pastel stains on my hands. But other than that it was pretty fun.

Question(s):

What did you think of my art-work? Have you tried to make this? Is there something I can improve on?

My Very Own Kowhaiwhai Pattern!

 Buenos Dias or Tardes Guys and Gals! So after I finished my insect art, I reload the page and a new activate came up! So I thought just do it, before you'll procrastinate. I made this Kowhaiwhai about my family, I have done this before with my Friday teacher Mrs. Sumpter, so I thought this would be easy if I just did the same thing. I did, make a video about explaining what I'm doing and such n' such. So watch the video to find out!

If there are any errors or mistakes please let me know in the comments, if your comment actually gets through. But hopefully you'll enjoy this post of my Summer Learning Journey.

My Kowhaiwhai Journey

Final Product

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reflection: 

This was quite easy peasy since I have done the exact same thing before. I did rush it a tinsy tiny bit, but a least I got it done and finished! Doing it on a Tablet with a digital pen is way easier. Trust me but of you aren't used to it then maybe not. Overall fun and easy and I would do this again!

Questions: Did you register for the Summer Learning Journey? Have you done a Kowhaiwahi before?

 

My Insect Art - Summer Learning Journey!

 Hey, Guys and Gals! So as I said in the Digital Colouring Book post, I joined the Summer Learning Journey. Pretty cool huh? Hopefully you guys Registered too so you can follow along with me! 

Anyways for today's activities I just did an Insect drawing! But there is a twist of course, we had to make it out of stuff from nature in our homes! My little companion and I chose that we'd make a lady bug or bird. I recorded some of the stuff that happened from my Tablet, and so if the graphics are cheesy it's my Tablets fault. I will  be going through the photos and recordings in text.

This took way too long, and I hope you enjoyed this post. Sorry if I missed some activities and comment if there is any errors or mistakes. If your comment get through.

Introduction

So in this recording is about Denzel (my little compainion ) and I were collecting sticks from the front yard. At the very start of the recording tho, I did introduced what me and Denzel were doing.

Shape/Outline

So this is just a picture of the outline of the lady bird/bug. So we used the sticks we got in the first recording, and made the outline. I did have to get more sticks and snap some. But I liked the outcome of the shape.

We Moved Places

What happened in this video is that instead of working on the trampoline we moved to the ground. Why? Because every time we got in and out of the trampoline the Lady bug/bird would get messed up. Of course I had to restart because we had to move to the ground!

Finished Product!

So is a google drawing actually of my Finished Product, and I labeled the Lady bird/bug so you know what is what. And it was really sunny so I don't know if you can see much.

Destruction

What else are you gonna do with a project? Well since we made it on a pathway in our backyard, we still had to get rid of it. So Denzel destroyed it, (I told him to do it by the way) and all the remaining bit we put it back.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reflection: I enjoyed doing this, I would do it again. And it was a lot of fun, and it's even more fun if someone helps you. The recordings took a long time to upload. But it was still a lot of fun.

My Kowhaiwhai Pattern

Hey Guys and Girls! A couple weeks ago I was working on a Kowhaiwhai Pattern. I had to make a google doc and write about my Kowhaiwhai pattern.

I could only have 3 colours Red, White and Black. 

_____________________________________________________________________________________

My Kowhaiwhai.

My Kowhaiwhai pattern represents me and my Family. In the middle of my pattern is a spine but to me it represents the Chocolate Hills in Bohol City, I added this in because it’s in the Philippines.  And in the middle of that is the sun from the Filipino Flag.

Then in the sun is A Koru representing my mom. On the sides of the spine are my 2 brothers, my little sister and me as Koros. 

The Mathematical Features that my pattern had was, Transformations.I had Rotation and translation. It also had shapes so technically it’s math. The shapes I had were: Circles and Triangles.

Angelica.

I liked doing this and hopefully I get to do it again. And it made a beautiful art piece.

Questions: Would you try this? 

Self Portrait but with a Twist..

Hey Guys and Girls! So I made a Self Portrait of myself but the twist was. I had to do that in Google drawings. So I didn't actually draw with pencil and paper.

So I had to grab a picture of myself and trace it without Polyline, because it wouldn't look good so I used Curve. Then I downloaded an app called Colour Picker to get right colour, so I could color the shapes. 

This took me days to make, but I think it's not really that great of a Portrait. 

The braids were the hardest part to do so I went lazy.

Here's the tutorial : Link

This Portrait was complicated to make and I didn't really like mine. But it was hard to do so I didn't really like it. But I still did it, hopefully the next time I do this I could do better. 

But it was really a frustrating experience. 

If you tested this how did it go? Did you like yours? What was the hardest part?
