The painting was nice, I really like how my painting turned out, it was very hard to paint the details but I finished it. I put some changes because the colour doesn't fit. Why did I put those in my painting? I don´t really know too but the one in the middle which is the duck and the plant I just think nature and I really like them, Hopefully, you liked my painting.

3. Kpop - making me laugh and have nice music.
4. Teacher - because they help me learn.
5. warmth - to be warm and alive
6. phone - because I love my phone.

Workshop 2 - Linking themes to the impact of angles, movement and shots.

Brainstorms
What's happening - Other Wybie standing on stairs outside the house. Other Mothers ask him to smile from the doorway, instead he forward. Other Wybie making self smaller - less of a target - head down shoulders hunched. Looks weak and vulnerable.

• Angles/shot - high angle -make Wybie look overpowered, weak and vulnerable. 
• POV- Other Mother makes her seems stronger, bigger, more dominant.
• Viewer - makes the viewer feel sorry for/ scared for the Other Wybie.

(Foreshadowing - hinting at what is to come)

• Director - Hinting that maybe the Other Mother isn´t so wonderful.
• Other Techniques - Lighting - spotlight on Wybie - like he's on the spot/ under focus - Dark around creates a creepy atmosphere. 

 SEXXXY Paragraph 
In the scene with the Other Mother and the Other Wybie, we see high angle shots used to show the theme ¨looks can be deciving¨. We see this when the Other Mother asks the Other Wybie to smile but he hunches over and frowns instead. This makes the audience feel sorry for Other Wybie because he looks scared. The use of the high angle shot from the perspective of the Other Mother adds to these feeling as it makes the Other Wybie look weak and vulnerable. The director did this to foreshadowing the change of the Other Mother from creepy to more creepy. Coinciding with this is the use of lighting. A spotlight is on the Other Wybie emphasising he is under the focus of the Other Mother. This reminds us of earlier in the film where a low angle shot was used to make Wybie seem big and scary but really was just ordinary. This links to the scene because it also shows a moment when the look of a character was deceiving.

Brainstorm 
What's happening - The doll is spying on Coraline so that the doll can report it to the Other mother - making the doll look/spying at Coraline.

Angles/shots used - Dutch tilt - makes the doll looking/ spying at Coraline
How does the viewer feel -  makes the viewer that something is gonna happen - POV of the doll - someone is watching Coraline - Making you scared.
Why did the director do this -  To try to think that someone is looking/ spying at Coraline and makes it creepier - to know who is the next victim - someone is planning something.
additional info- music/light colour -  The music is quite scary/ creepy - the lighting is a bit dark - make it a bit creepy- telling you that Coraline is the victim.

In the scene where the doll is looking at Coraline and we can see that this is angle is a dutch tilt, We see this when we someone is watching you or unease feeling of the character. This makes the audience feel like someone is watching Coraline and we feel someones is stalking her. The director did this to make the audience feel that someone is watching her and have chills that there is something gonna happen bad. This worked well because we all know that the Other Mother did this because she wants Coraline soul. This reminds me in a horror movie when there cracking their necks. 

SEXXXY Paragraph

In this angle, you could see that the Other Mother is trying to lecture Coraline and the angle is close up. We see this when you see more expression and detailed of the character. This makes us understand the character facial expression and what will you feel looking at the character. This was done to make the audience know that the Other mother is just tricking Coraline to stay at the fake world and knowing her real form. This work well in the film when you want to see the whole expression of the character. This reminds me of my mum telling me off not cleaning my room.

In this, you can see that Coraline is holding weird greenstone. The angle is Extreme close up where you see the characters hand and whats it holding. This shows us what is Coraline holding. 

Not finished. I will try doing 2 more pharagraph. 

Dissecting a heart

Hello guys and girls, so yesterday we dissect a heart, some people didn´t like bt I quite liked it because I got to see the heart and learn about the thing they do. The heart was a pig, the heart is important because they pump the blood which contains gas, oxygen, nutrients and more, this is important so our body can move and give us energy. Here are the photos that we take when we are dissecting the heart. 














How does heart work here is an image of how does the heart work.

                             




                                                           

Arts Kete - Comic

Hello guys and girls, so this art kete we are making comics, some people are finishing their comics and here am I still finishing mine so it will be very hard to finish it really fast. The comic I´m making is about a guy who got transferred into a fake world which is the world he made from his computer.here is the story I made.

Story?

  A boy who is alone has no friends he makes friends with his drawings and one day he was making a  comic about a powerful girl who will save her world but she has no control over her powers so she needs help. Boy: sigh* ¨let me take a little nap zZZ¨ (computer starts doing something and boy transfer into the drawing world) Boy: wakes up in the world he doesn’t know and saw the girl she draws, questions about the world and helps the girl to control her power and defeat the evil man.  The evil men keep making bad people by drawing them and the boy has to make a weapon for the girl to defeat the villain. 

I´m still creating their names because it's hard to think a name, you could help me if you won't think of the names for characters. Here are the characters that I made and you can name the characters if you want.

Characters

• An artist who made a hero (he's a boy)
• A girl who has power and will save her world ( the boy who made her)
• Villain - unknown ( an artist who creates bad people )  

Conclusion: I would try my best to finish it and make it pretty so you guys would like it.

I´m sorry if you couldn´t see it but hopefully, you would like my comic.

Lyan and I made a presentation for this and the questions are the same we put in our presentation. Here is The presentation we made, hope you like it! 

Coraline - Looks can be deceiving

• Theme and Idea - contains idea/ subject that links throughout the text
• looks can be deceiving - don't judge a book by its cover - don't judge by appearance 

Example 1: character of wybie - when we first meet him he sense scary ( mask, motorbike, use of high angle to look bigger, loud music)  but in reality, he's just a weird neighbour.


Shows theme because like other characters, our first impression based on the appearance, tone, visual techniques aren´t always correct

Important because it helps the audience understand with Coraline that just because something looks good doesn't mean it is she should close the real world over the other world.   

Example 2: Character of the Other Mother - she seems normal/ friendly at the short but by the end becomes a soul-devouring spider demon.

Shows theme because like ¨Other Mother¨ isn't what she appears to be at the start so we shouldn´t judge by the first impression.

Important because Coraline realises that having something that looks perfect isn't always a good thing.

S-  Statement: In Coraline, the theme ¨ looks can be deceiving¨ is used effectively to engage the audience. 
Evidence: For instance, the character of the ¨Other mother¨ shows us that looks can e deceiving because she starts off with a kind mother figure but gradually changes into a soul-devouring demon.
eXplanation audience: this makes us understand, that we shouldn´t judge a character based on the first impression as they can often be wrong.
eXplanation director: This is done to help Coraline decide between the real world and the other world. if the other mother was really perfect Coraline wouldn´t choose to go home. 
eXplanation another techniques(shots, angles, music, setting, lighting, colour): Combine with this is the use of the colour and lighting. The ¨Other Mother¨ first appears in a vibrating bright from that makes us feel warm and safe. however, by the end, it has became dark and green which makes the viewer feel scared and shows that her first look was deceiving.
Your link: this can be juxtaposed to the character of Wybie who we think at first is evil but its actually kind, proving looks can be deceiving.

How does our hand work?

Hello guys, so we made a hand by using paper, straw, and string. So our fingers contain bones our fingers contain 3 bones and our thumb only has 2 bones, our palm has 5 bones leading to each finger, our bones provide structure and support. The joints in our hands allow us movement between bones, ligaments in our hands are attached to bones together and this can allow us to move certain direction only.   

Our fingers don't contain any muscle the only muscle in our hands is our palm and forearm. Our long tendons run from our tip to our own muscle. Here is my work and hope you like it.

P.E - Juggling and Speed Stacking

Hello guys, so this P.E we have been doing a lot of activity, and Iḿ telling you about the speed stacking and juggling this was fun to play because you can compete with your classmates.

Speed staking
the speed stacking strategy is to do 3 cups the total cups you need is 12 the right side of your arm needs 3 and the left side needs 3 too he middle can have 3 or 6 the 3 cups in the middle is for practice only like me. This is quite hard because sometimes when you try to stack the cups sometimes the cup falls off, so you really need a lot of practice to not make the cups fall.

Juggling

 the juggling is hard for me I only got to go at 3 juggling towel which is practicing your juggling it was hard because I cant focus on 1 juggling towel.
