The voyage to a new land

I grew up in a small house with my family, Our house had no running water, no insulation and the toilet was outside which we shared with our neigbours. Now dispite those inconveniences we grew up just fine and managed to get though our childhood without getting any infectious sicknesses like whooping cough and scarlet fever.

I hated living in my neighbourhood! It was dirty and all the houses had no insulation or proper roofing due to poor effort in bulding any of the houses, My family and I all shared one room due to mold and feces taking over the rest of the houses. 

One day I went down to the shops and saw a flyer advertising an oppertunity to move to a far away place called "New Zealand", I didint really know what to think at first but I suddenly found myself running down the street towards my house with the flyer in my hand. The day the boat was departing was only a weeks away and still had no idea what I was going to do and if I wanted to go.

Time seemed to fly by each day i thought about moving but eventually I came to a decision, I was leaving this dreadful place and starting fresh in a new town. The day the boat arrived I was nervious i'd never ever been on a boat before and this time it was a one way ticket. 

The first day on the boat was okay but the constant swaying of the boat made my stomache turn it's self inside out, Trying to keep clean on the boat was difficult because there was no fresh water but it was still better then home. Animals were killed on the boat for fresh meat and milk was also provided at dinner time and breakfast.

The boat journey was long and I started to miss home after a few weeks but we played cards and chess to pass time and sometimes we just looked at the fish in the ocean. We had finally arrived in New Zealand and it was beautiful! the grass was green and the trees were taller then any building that i'd ever seen in London. 

A year had past and living in New Zealand was bliss. At first I missed my family but the feeling passed very quickley. I got a job as a farmer and moved into a small home in a clean area but one thing that was surley different was that i had an inside toilet which was great in some sense no more sharing with the neigbours. The day I moved to New Zealand was truley the happiest day of my life.

Art lino cut prints.

My print looks bright and has a lot of texture to the base of the lino cut. My picture's expressionis a straight face, it has bold eyes that pull you towards it and make you want to look at it for just that little bit longer. It has a lot of character in it but you have to look at the details of the picture to really understand where im coming from.

My image represents a woodcut of a man which was designed by kathe kollwitz.

The wood cut has an expression of a bored and grummpy looking man. 

He isn't wearing any accessories.
The whole image takes up the printing pages space because its just a mans face but shows a lot of detail to the drawing.

My picture fills the whole lino peace that i was give to cut my picture.

The marks on my lino cut image have been added in by muself, around the eye theres alot of small cuts and rough edges and near the check bone are more neat and tidy cutting edges.

My lino cut picture is an open cropped image showing only the face and the side of his cheek.

Something that is not evident on my print is the cutting near in the eye you can't really see it but ive gone back and forth with different cutting directions and tried to add a bit more texture but its not as visible as i would have liked it to be.

There aren't many shaded areas on my lino print but there are soem darker areas then the rest of the print and thats the right side of the print theres a slight darkness to the edge of the print but overall there wasnt as much shadding as i would have liked to have in my image.


Here's an image of my final design finished.

Being an individual is more important than being popular.


I highly agree with this statement because when your popular everybody's looking at you
and trying to
be you in some sense but if you were and individual then you wouldn't have to worry about
making a
mistake and having everyone see it, being yourself is far more important because when you
trying to be
someone else you technically being fake and untrue to yourself and everybody else.



Almost everyone in this world judges you based on how you appear which in my opinion is low,
people
are made the way they were supposed to be no one is perfect it’s physically impossible for
anyone to be
perfect. You're always gonna have flaws it’s a part of life that everybody gets/has and goes
through it but
when you try to cover it up with makeup and a petty attitude that’s where most people go wrong.
I think
that being yourself is far more important and if your so called friends don’t agree then they aren’t
your
true friends.

“Popular” is just a name that people get given if their rich, well known or liked by everyone.
Most teen
movies always have a popular guy/girl that everyone likes and wants to hangout with but they
also have
a group of people that are themselves and they tend to win in life because they aren’t
pretending constantly
they’re just being themselves and having fun. 9 times outta 10 the unpopular people end up beating the
popular people or become liked by everyone else, but mostly the story ends with love,
triumph and a
happily ever after. So i 100% think that being yourself is far more important than being liked
by everyone
all that matters in life is enjoying the good times with the people you love and having fun.

School is the best place to make mistakes?

School is an ideal place to make mistakes because it gives you a chance to learn from them and provides an opportunity to start over and think about how you can avoid making the same mistake again.
Mistakes are an everyday thing and it’s best you make them while your young and in school because you can fix them and it won’t really matter but when your an adult it does because it could impact your daily life like you could lose your job or hurt someone, it can go either way.

There are people that are paid to help you with you mistake when your in school and they give you advice on how to avoid making them over and over again, whereas when you grow up you don’t have that person to help you out you have to try and figure out how your going to fix it and sometimes mistakes can’t always be fix some are permanent which is why i think it’s best to make them while your in school because it won’t have a huge impact on your life unless your mistake made in school is unfixable.

Wind Racers ( science )

My team members: olivia and myself and andrew

we need to make a wind racer that will beat out classmates

Equipment:
trolley
cardboard
tape
paper
string
 scissors

our idea is to use paper to make a narrow triangle sail that will allow our trolley to catch the wind more affectivley.

method:
1. screw the pole from the clamp stad into the chassis
2. tape the strips of carboard to the outter part of the paper sail for strength
3. create a name and design for your wind racer and draw it onto the sail
4. attach the sail to the pole and tape it well
5. race!!!!

Our wind racer went 8 meters in 10 seconds and came third in the race against our classmates. our trolley went 0.8 meters per seconds
