Tastes of Summer

 

It's Cool To Be Kind :) - Week 3, Activity 2

 

Kiwi Jingle Bells

A bit of information of the difference between the northern and southern hemisphere during the season of Christmas:

Activities in the northern hemisphere where snow is abundant includes skiing, snowboarding and ice-skating. Much less like here in New Zealand where snow never comes at all. Rather than playing in the snow and ice, we tend to go and have barbecues at the beach with friends and family. 

Treasure code - Step it up

The Treasure Code

In this activity, I learnt how to write, decipher and indecipher pigpen code. I found it difficult trying to memorize the patterns so that I may be able to use it later on.  I really enjoyed creating my own code, especially since I've been to plenty of beaches during my trip up north with my family 2 weeks ago.

Please comment down below your answer :) Happy Celebrating Summer everyone!

Summer Haiku - Step it up

Rise Up

I've created my song based around teenager mind-sets and thoughts. Sometimes, while we're growing up, we think we know better and decide to walk alone through a tough situation people can actually help you with. For example, you have a set goal in mind and then succeed through hard work and determined efforts. Then you start to lose sight of more important things, such as family and your friends, basically everyone who has helped you get to where you are today. We, as youngsters, often forget about the little things our parents do that helped us grow up in a better environment that what other people in the world go through. The last two lines of this chorus 'Life doesn't get easier, you just get stronger,' are my favourite lines, because it speaks the truth. As said from the philosophers and deep thinkers, Six60, don't forget your roots, my friend. Don't forget your family. 

(I hope you forgive me for not putting in an audio, I couldn't find a way to upload the audio to my blog)

Which one doesn't belong?

 

What are you doing today? - Week 1 Activity 5

(I hope using the the activity I had in mind was OK.)

Optical Illusions - Week 1 Activity 4

 

I created this optical illusion based on one of the examples shown in the Sight and Optical Illusion video. Yes, a complete copy, but to be honest I liked the way this picture was drawn so I though it was fun if I made my own copy.

I drew this optical illusion by observing the original picture in the video, sketched the outlines lightly and then outlined the drawing by pressing my pencil a bit harder on the page. And for the 'Optical illusion' title on the bottom of the drawing was a title made in a google drawing I created in which I traced due to laziness. I added my own little touch though to make it work a little. 

Hopefully you won't mind me not using a screencastify since mine is currently not working.

Have a great time celebrating summer everyone, and happy new year! :)
