Reflection 2011

Look back What did you do? What could you improve?	This year at enrich I have done interactions, talent development : mosaics and dragon art. We also did workshops and independent tasks. My favourite workshop was debating and my favourite independent task is scamper.
mosaics
Pull it apart What factors contributed to your learning? What challenged you?	The thing that challenged me the most was learning what to do on the computers and the ipads, it was a bit hard because you had to remember how to take screen shots, use keynote, use cameras and dinoscopes and send emails.
Make connections What did you learn to do better? What sort of thinking helped you?	I learnt to use many different types of art like sketching, lino prints, painting and making sculptures. I have also improved on using different applications on the computer.
Make judgements My progress was...	My progress would be on art because now I know a lot of different types and techniques of art and I’m a lot better at chess as well.

Two stars and a wish.

This term at Enrich two stars would have to be Art passion projects and getting to used the 

I pads. I chose art because it was really fun doing different kinds of art like painting sketching and lino prints. I chose the I pads because there really easy to use and  you can use different applications like chess, mind mapping and even frog dissection! One wish for next term would have to be more challenges in between work.

Science Experiment.

Last week at Enrich we were doing a Science experiment about what will happen to a potato when you put it into different liquids. The four different liquids were coke, rare, water and salt water.

My hypothesis is the coke will make it fade and make it smooth, the raro will make the potato rough, the water will make it expand and make it smooth and the salt water will make the potato smooth because salt is like a mineral.
RESULTS: Salt was the smoothest potato. Juice was smooth. The water made the potato smooth. The coke made it smooth and rubbery.

Art passion project

This term I've been doing art for Passion project. So far I've made a skeleton for a dragon, a paper mache dragon and 2 sketches. one of the sketch is a Knotwork dragon which didn't turn out that well.a few weeks ago we went to see Henry and the other tuataras. Next week I'm going to paint my paper mache and finish my skeleton.Then I'll start a lino print and do some more sketches.We only have about 17 hours left to finish our art and then it will be next term.A positive is that it's really fun and it uses your prior knowledge to make artwork.A negative is

Teacher comment

Emma that dragon looks really funky, and the wire inside has made it a lot more rigid which will be good for support as you apply the paper mache skin and paint it.
I can't wait to see what colours you use and how it turns out.
Keep up the good work!

S.C.A.M.P.E.R

Every fortnight at Enrich we do a task called S.C.A.M.P.E.R. scamper stands for substitute, combine, adapt, 
modify / magnify, put to other uses, eliminate and
 reverse / rearrange. What you do for scamper is you get an everyday item like a shoe or a brush and you use your imagination to make it substitute, combine, adapt, modify / magnify, put to other uses,eliminate or reverse / rearrange
an object. I did a brush and used it as a car wash, a bridge, a really colorful car, a wacky sculpture, a slide, a polisher and a scooter. We do this to make us think about things in a different way and to use our imagination

Passion progects. Art

This term we are doing talent development and we had to pick out of art, creative writing and filming a documentary. I chose art and we are making dragons.

To make our dragon art we are going to do lino printing, sketching and make clay models.We have to create our own dragons and make them into art.

We only have 37 hours from this week to start from scratch to finish the dragons completely. 

Next year some of the dragons are going to be put into an art gallery and are going to be sold.
