B&E Reflection Blog

B&E

Describe your buisness and what your product was. Once again for B&E my group decided to do painted rocks our buisness wasnt really anything special? just a buisness selling painted rocks? I dont know?. (we did it last year as implied in the text)

How did you find the process of making your products and working as a team?. Honesty the process was quite aggravating, it takes alot of time to paint the rocks and alot of time to do the detail along with you have to wait for the spray to set and if you mess up you can't just hit reset or rub it off.

What did you enjoy and what did you not enjoy?. I didnt really have any highlights or challenges in the process I didnt particulary like it I really hated hated it but thats how I feel towards all ketes.

( personally I heavily dislike the ketes as there normally on such short notice take alot of work and focus keeping me away from stuff I want to focus on and get done |school work and other things| Also Its quite an annoying process to get done what we need to for the ketes along with the how much work we need to do. its also usually really boring. The kete in itself  is normally boring.)

How did market day go? did you enjoy it?. Though market day itself was fun you basically got to buy what you want sell your product and kinda just hang with friends when theyre free.

How did you show your school values?. I beleive I showed school values by respecting and taking my time with the customers and not pushing people to buy products.(like I kind of nudged them to but not like "HEY BUY THIS ITS CHEAP PLEASE I PROMIES YOULL LIKE IT" or something)

I dont have any pictures no one took pictures of our stall as far as I know.

Māori myths and legends

 Hello shes hes they's and anything in between!. welcome back to my blog or welcome to my blog if your new!.

Today we were tasked to read about a Māori myth we find on our slide show.

I decided to do mine on how Māui slowed the sun!. 

First we read the story we were given then answered the questions and did the tasks we were given. One of the tasks we were given was to make a poster asking for someone to help slow down the sun if Māui wasnt to be there to help.

here's my work ! :

I really like myths and fairytales more specifically the greek ones the demigods gods godesses and the creatures they bring in the storys are entertaining. Theyre always really fun to read.

Rousseau art work separation

This lesson and last lesson we were set with the task to cut up one of Rousseau's paintings then stick them aligned with there counter parts on a piece of paper. then we had to label the different parts of the painting background, foreground, middle ground, flora, foliage, repetition and fauna. 

Background

what you see at the back of an art piece.

Middle ground

the art you see in the middle of a piece.

Foreground

the front art found in a piece.

Foliage

Leaves and or nature

Flora

Flowers

Fauna 

Animals

------------------------------------------------

Personally i love Rousseau's art something about how he kept creating the art even after all the higher ups in the system put him down was inspiring. His art is really entrancing anyways.

Elvers (Uncle Don Know Heaps Of Wacky Stuff)

Hello! and welcome back to my blog or welcome too my blog if your new!.

Today I was tasked once again with creating a DLO on a subject in the book we have been reading bit by bit. (Uncle Don Knows Heaps Of Wacky Stuff)

My DLO was focused specifically on baby eels! Also known as Elvers.

( facts about Elvers )

Here is my work-

Before focusing on learning about Elvers I didn't really know what baby eels look like nor anything on them really. So it was quite fun learning something new about them!. 

I really like being able to do these DLOS as its a learning process for me on the topic and its quite fun designing and having this freedom with it. 

( I really like eels anyways. Whenever I go camping I'll always try and spot them in the rivers )
