Flower Printing

In class we have been printmaking. Printmaking is when you have ink and you roll it against a picture that is overlapped that you know it is overlapped. What I mean overlapped is when you can feel how the pieces of your picture on top of each other. So we made the pictures first and then started printing. We had to do a practice and a Good copy. Here is mine:

The bottom one was my good copy, the top right one was my practice and the top left one was my tile that I used to print with. I did four at first but then ended up doing 6 at the end. What I had fun doing was drawing the flower. What I found hard was to get a lot of ink on my tile. What I found interesting was that it acutally worked. 

Culture and Tradition

In class for intergrated learning (Intergrated learning is a bunch of things all together) we have been learning about culture and traditions. Our first lesson was to write what we think culture and tradition mean. The second lesson was to find out about the national flower of our cultures. My culture is Tonga and the national flower is a Heilala. We had to make a Slideshow explaining about ourselves and about our family, culture and traditions.

Here is my Slideshow:





This is my slideshow. The last slide tells you a little bit about the flower.

My Taonga

In class we have been doing some intergrated learning. For intergrated learning we have been drawing some things that are special to us. Taonga means something that is very precious and very special to you. We got to choose if we wanted to draw on paper or do it digitally. I wanted to do it by hand.
The yellow heart is my friends. The cross is church. The orange thing is a blanket that I've had since I was a baby. The picture is me and my family. The flag is my culture. Those are the things that are the most special things to me.

Here is my picture:
