"The Truck" By Shawn

I like the truck because it looks like it is making a delivery to someone’s house. It is racing very fast through the traffic with a palm tree kind of picture on the truck. It may be a truck that delivers seeds so you can plant them and make them grow with water. I especially think that it looks like there is a lake picture next to the two palm trees. I want to buy the picture because of the truck on the road and because it looks like he is making a delivery.           

Monet

Claude Monet was a impressionist painter who used landscape or cityscape it was painted in different days or even different seasons. For one of them he made a pond with a bridge and did it in different seasons and days. Each moment was captured in time so the lights have different colors on the pond and also on the bridge at different times.

He Loved his home in Giverny he also liked the way the water reflects and moves constantly over and over again. He made it like his own world. He also liked to paint his pond that is surrounded by shrubs and trees.

Robert Delaunay

Robert Delaunay was a French Painter who invented the Orphism Art Form. His wife   Sonia both used Vibrant colors on their pictures including the Tall Portuguese Woman. Robert made plants and used different colors of green.

Robert uses Bright Contrasting Colors in his art and bring his Art to life. He used Geometric Shapes that represent the object or person. He always uses Vibrant colors for is work.
He  made a Large Leafed Plant painted on the left side of the painting. He made a scene with circles and a kitchen with a Woman at work. Also in the middle of the kitchen  he used circles all over the kitchen to make it a scene where she is doing the dishes or cooking.


This is my first attempt at Creating a piece of art in the Style of Robert Delaunay.

Could Creatures Live Without Rain

Without rain it will not be possible for creatures to survive because the land would be to dry for the creatures.

There are a few dry places in the world where it does not rain, like the desert where animals & plants can’t live.

Rain supplies us and animals with water to drink and to survive.

When it rains people in the city begin to get angry and forget how much farmers need rain to grow crops and also grass for the cattle. We also need it to keep the dams full for our taps.

Jackson Pollock

Jackson Pollock was a American he used lived America in New York City. He was very famous for the abstract paintings he did. He usually used a lot of paint in his artwork. He always smoked while he painted. Also his paintings were meaningless
and was undefinable so you would have had to use your imagination. His flicking was a waste of paint. He kept using the paint and splattering the paint all over the grass and picture.

Jackson Pollock was a married man who was married to another painter called Lee Krasner. He kept drinking. When he painted he also used contrasting colours and he kept scooping out paint using the primary colours. His paintings were attractive and were so special to him. Sadly he died in a car crash when he was only 44. His paintings shown his feelings. It looked like he was really happy but he suffered from depression.

Swimming Lessons

Do you know what happens for two weeks this term? Swimming!!!

On Monday Rm 15 went to the pool. Hopping in two at a time to see what group we get put into. I was put into group one and my friend was put into group three. Our instructor Ben said “Put your arms in a shape of a rocket ship”.

Waiting impatiently for my turn I was bobbing up and down finally it was my turn. Taking a deep breath I pushed off the wall, I started to slow down until I was suddenly propelled through the water by Ben pushing my feet. Reaching the fake island I took another big breath and lined back up in the side of the pool.

After everyone had their turn Ben said “ Time to get out”. I wish I could stay in the warm pool but we couldn’t. On the bright side though this was only the first day of swimming. Hooray!!!
