Jim Dine themed art.

Jim Dine Themed Art
In Totora we have been learning different artists styles, This time we are doing Jim Dines style.

Jim Dine normally does tool art so we tried his style. The tool I did was a wall stapler (It kind of looks like a unicorn). 

You draw around the tool of choice and then you use charcoal to make the lines darker, you then smudge it so it makes the tool pop. 

Recount: I enjoyed doing this what i can work on is making it look less like a unicorn or shoe and more like a wall stapler.

Question: Would you try this? If so what Tool?

Camera Shots and Angles

Walt: Learning how to use different Angles and Camera shots.

Camera Shots and Angles

Today in Totora we were learning how to take different Camera shots and Angles, Me and my buddy Tawhiri used our chromebooks to take different types of Photos. We are taking these because we are going to be taking part in the Manaiakalani film contest.

Reflection: I think we could write longer Purposes and find better places to take photos because the lighting in some photo's weren't very good

 Question: What was your Favourite Camera Shot?

Learning Rugby League

Learning Rugby League!Walt: Revise and Create a Quality Blog Post about League
This term in Totara Class we were learning Rugby League with our coaches Jim and Kerry, Every Wednesday they come to teach us by using fun games and activities. We learned lots of things like what a dummy does and how to pass.

How to play Touch
In this photo we were playing touch. Here are the rules (P.S: Some things may be wrong as I am still learning) It starts by someone on one team kicking off no higher than up to someones shoulders to the over teams side, The other team should get the ball and start running to the other side, If the person with the ball gets touched they put the ball on the ground and kicks it back, Another team mate gets the ball and passes the ball to someone that are behind them, Eventually when you get to the goal line you place it down, Don't Drop it! If you run out of the boundaries you give it to the other team.

Recount:
We learned Rugby league and how it works, We also learned how to play touch?
