Art Alive Attempt 2

Do you know what the real meaning of art is? Well in the past few days room 18 have been exploring and researching on different artists, so far we have only researched on famous artists Pablo Picasso and Oscar Claude Monet.

  Room 18 have discovered that Picasso is not about perfection he is about different perspectives. For example, if he took a photo of someone he would draw half of the face looking foward and the other half would be what you could see on the side perspective.

 “ After morning tea you are rotating to room 19 to learn about Oscar Claude Monet”, Mr Barks said with a deep voice. As soon as we arrived at room 19 Mr Slade had already wrote some notes down for us to copy. The technique we used with Mr Slade was little strokes (impressions).This was to make it more realistic.
 After learning about these two talented artists, it made me more interested in art.

Body Building

“Sheesh you guys are looking good”. On Saturday the 5th, two of my uncles competed in a bodybuilding competition. I didn’t know what they were going to come, but man I really hope I look like them in the future. Their names are Hayden and Jon.
Unfortunately I didn’t get to watch them pose at the comp, because it was too expensive. My parents went while I had to stay at my grandparents house .Anyway  after the long wait my parents finally came to pick my brothers, sister and I up from our nana’s house. As soon as they arrived I ran to my dad to look at the photo’s they had taken.
I was surprised because my uncle Hayden came third in his pool.
When I saw the magnificent photo’s I was very shocked, because what my uncles looked like in the photo’s was nothing similar to what they look like in real life. Looking at the photo’s made me think, why didn’t they come first and second? This was their first time bodybuilding and still the results were fantastic.

Even though this was the first time my uncles experienced what bodybuilding was like, I was still convinced that they should have come first and second. Anyway I can’t wait till their next competition. Go uncles!
