Week Seven - Blogging and Photography

This week we have launched our individual learning blogs.  You will see links out to all of these on our class page in the reading blog list.  We look forward to keeping you up to date with our learning journeys.  As we develop our skills we are going to post together and grow our confidence, sharing the learning and creating we have been working on. This week we used the tool screencastify to create a video tour for our blogs. Be sure to check them out.

Our Art exhibition show is coming up in Term Three. This week we started creating 'joiners' inspired by the artist David Hockney. Joiners are created by taking lots of photos of an object, then combining the photos together to recreate the picture. We have started with a chair from our class before we search for inspiration for our individual pieces.  To create this Mr Riceman gave us a photo of a chair divided into 16 pieces. In groups, we took photos of each of the squares then uploaded them to our google drives or emailed them to ourselves and group. We then used a google drawing to cut copy paste and re-assemble these. Here are some of our first attempts.

  2. Hello Room 8,
    I love the way you have actually started to type feelings and I know that you all are Safe kids. I also love the pictures of the chairs you have created. Maybe you can teach me how to make one?
