Art Art And More Excellent Art

Today I had a great day doing Art, Passion Project and Discovery.

I did the best at discovery because I went and did lots of fixing up to my presentation and made some new pieces to add to the slideshow on my countries of importance.

I did okay working on finding additional information for the Greeks part of me and Kyle's website and also finding a myth to add to my part of the website.

I did well doing my art (Picasso portrait), by making a cool background with three different designs and making patterns and thickening my lines. 

Passion project getting better!

Well hello. I have just found more info on Greece and changed my word colors to Maroon so now it looks way better. Kyle and I also got a long old story about king Midas and the donkey ears. We thought we should use the myths of Greece and Rome to make a page about myths on our website. Also I thought in my writing, I should add phonetics to the greek gods names so that it is easier for people to understand their names like Zeus - Z-oo-s.
Hades - Hay-dees
and Demeter - Dee-mee-ter

Well, where was I? Ah yes, finally we decided to add more fun facts about Greece and Rome.

Garageband importing songs to itunes

Hola and welcome to Garageband. Today I learnt how to convert you tube songs onto an itunes playlist. At the end of the session I had already converted 9 songs from you tube to my itunes playlist and also had three of my Garageband songs attached to my playlist. It was an excellent way to make playlists on itunes. At the end of the session I shared my newly made playlist to the group. 

Gracias for reading my blog. Gracias- means thank you in Spanish. Hola- means hello in Spanish.

Garageband and passion project

At Garageband today I learnt how to arrange and paste parts of musical instruments and then I played my song to everyone in the group, they liked it. Then Jacob played his, it was random and funny. During passion time I wrote out all the greek gods of our website and also found out fun facts about Greece. Did you know that 80 percent of Greece is mountain terrain and the Greeks created the vending machine that you see at stores or places!

Thanks for reading

Garageband

I was in the world of music today with Paul. At the start, we listened to one of Lordes songs on garageband. Then we selected an area of the song to split and then delete. Then we got to create a tune of our own with different types of musical instruments (Loops). I made a  song with Acoustic guitars and pianos.  

I used the music to make a rock piece. 

My Favourite one was my acoustic slow song. 

Thanks For reading.

1st Week Back Hooray

For the First week back we did 3 rotations in one day. It worked better than spreading it over three weeks. As a game, we played Piccadilly Circus. Our best time was 29.5 seconds. For the Rotations we did Tanennbaum's Model of giftedness with Katie, Digital Footprint with Paul and Stress with Nicola Everyone attended each of these.  At Katie's rotation I had to do stuff on Tanennbaum's model of giftedness he has five parts of what it means to be gifted. At Paul's rotation we worked more on the digital footprint as an activity we made a digital footprint with 4 facts on it. Finally at Nicola's rotation we learned ways to relax which included doodling a picture of our choice and listening to relaxing music as a way of calming you down.

Trip to the Library

Today, Kyle and I took a casual walk down to the library to look for books for our Passion Project. Kyle and I found 3 books on Greece and Rome. Overall we got a good lot of information, which is going on our website. Here is a link to the website http://greekromyth.ucoz.com/
