Impasto

 Impasto is a type of art that you use thick strokes so that you can see the texture on the paper. Van Gogh used it for famous art. 
What does the word impasto mean? Mixture is the meaning of Impasto.

How can impasto brushstrokes express emotions? Because you can add thickness to certain places.

Was Van Gogh one of the first painters to use the impasto technique? Yeah, he was a pioneer.

Envy

It is something that happens when you want to be more like someone else. You can use it to figure out what you want to get or be. 

Friends

Friends are good to have because if you don't you're lonely and you might explode. 

• Taha whanau is about who makes you feel like you belong.
• Good friends help a lot because you can talk more to them.
• Respect is good because people can trust you. 

Fiji win gold

Fiji rugby sevens won a match of rugby sevens on Wednesday (NZ time) beating New Zealand. They were in tears at the last whistle and then chanting their national anthem for the second gold win. It was a closer match than the British match. This match was 27 to 12 and the other was 43 to 7.

 

cometment

 Today we are learning about commitment and how we are showing commitment throughout the year. I think that I am about half on the thumb scale. The different spaces we can show commitment are outside in the class and moving through the class. I think I could work focusing on the task. I think I find using my Chromebook the hardest because I can go on different sites.     

Art

 In art, we made a lino block print for our personal logo. I made mine based on the PS logo because I like PS. I enjoyed cutting the block to make the picture. I made it black and white because I felt like it and it was my first one of the batch. Here is the picture and some of my hands. In my opinion, the ink went onto it really well. Is there anything else I can do to make this look good.

Hands on fire!!

                    *Warning: do not try this at home* 

Today we put our hands on fire and it was cool because it was safe but we were also on fire. Everyone's second turn was the bigger one because they knew what it was going to be like. The second one for mine I grabbed most of the bubbles and then Mr. Stock used the lighter then the flame jumped up and then would go out. I enjoyed it but it was weird to have your body on fire. We had to line up and have safety goggles on and we had to wet our hands and then get the bubbles and then the fire blew up.
