Photograpghy

Today at Talent Development we edited photos that we took at Queens Park last week!!!
It was really fun! :)





For editing I tried collaging a few of my photos together and I thought it looked really really cool!
I did my collage about the Southland Museum and the Tuatara's!

This is it!


Here is one with me in it!!!
But this one is a picture from google! Not Queens Park


I did some more but I quite liked this one!!! 
It was an awesome activity and I can't wait for

Passion Time

Today at passion time I carried on with poetry.


I am doing poetry because I love it and I want to know some poetry skills.
At passion time Darryn helped me with a poem and gave me A LOT of ideas!


The poem I am working at now is a wet autumn poem that I am doing in free verse. 
Free verse is were there is no rules apart from get rid of a word if you don't need it and if you can try  to replace two or three words with one word.
One of my favourite lines is: 


People hurrying indoors, shaking the rain drops off their umbrellas, tugging off soaking coats racing to make a hot chocolate!


I like passion time because it is super fun but super challenging!      

Queens Park

Today at Enrich I went to Queens Park with my photography group!
It was awesome!
We had to take nature photos that we could manipulate and also static images!
I took some great photos!
When we got back we had to use I-photo to edit them!
Here is a static one:


It was really FUN!

Wearable Arts

Today at Enrich we went to Invercargill Museum to see the wearable arts exhibition.
It was awesome.

There were heaps of unusual but AMAZING designs. My favourite was the butterfly dress.
It looked really cool because it looked like butterflies were actually flying around the dress!

When we got back one of our picks was to either sketch or design one of the dresses or to write a short story or poem about the wearable arts exhibition and how it may of inspired us.

Passion Time

This week we had passion time that is were we get an hour and a half to do what our passion is.
Mine was Writing/Poetry. It was really fun but a little bit hard!
I am studying different poets and then writing my own poem.
Today I studied Roald Dahl, he is a very good poet and very inspiring!
I am looking forward to next week! :)
