Heey my name's Samantha but everyone calls me Sam. I am a student here at Macandrew and am 12 years of age ( Year 8 ) and am in the arts class. **My interests are visual art, dance, netball, cricket and texting.** **The reason why I deided to take part in this Arts Based Class is because** **I really enjoy** **visual art and dance**.

**//Through My Eyes (World View)//** **//Through my eyes I see the world as a wonderful world of nature such as trees,plants and creatures which god created.//** **//The buildings were man made and towns are full of hundereds of people but we will never know why god created the world. He just did! Its a world of blue skies with the sun streaming through the window and the world is full of pearls of nature. Even though the world can be an unhappy place, sometimes its a wonderful world. And thats my perspective of the world.//**

**//Through My Eyes (Art View)//**

**//Through my eyes I see art as a glory of wonderful experiences and adventures. I see landscapes as huge beautiful hills, blue skies and sunny beaches. Landscapes makes art inspiring because people paint landscapes of places that they have seen too or experiences they've had. I chose Grahame Sydney because I was inspired by the work and landscapes that he has painted around the Ida Valley region in Central Otago.//**

**Draw what you SEE not what you** **imagine** **will be there**. **Tone:****Look for the light and dark areas.** ** Fill in your portrait using light and dark ** **texture** ** as opposed to lines. ** = Be brave- avoid pretty, dark is dark, light is light. = **No outlines- do not draw the outline first - start with the eyes and work out.** **Proportion: Use some tricks and good observation to complete a portrait with good proportion.** **Pop Art: Use lines to transform your portrait into areas of distinct light or dark (pop art style)**

Success Criteria **Was I brave?- I Have completed four distinctly** **different** **works?** **Did I avoid lines and out lines****?** **Is my work well proportioned?** **Did I use texture well?** **Did I really take a risk and draw what i see, not what I expect or imagine?**

Questions to challange myself! Why do you like or not like a paticular work? **// Why ​did I enjoy or not enjoy a particular style? //** **If I was to choose a tiny bit of my work that I love - what would it be and why ?**

**Next steps for myself?** = = = Rippa Rugby = = I have learnt to catch and pass the ball while playing games and I have also learnt to be reliable by showing up to all games played. = = My next step is to paticipate in PE with Mr K. = = = ==

Movie review



Based on a fairy tale theme... Shrek's wanting to change his life but what he does not know is that Rumpel Stilskin is evil & wants to take everything from the day he has born. As he sign's the contract everything starts to magically change and he grows apart from his wife Fiona and his kids do no longer exist. Shrek is very angry at this point and does not know what to do because he whole life has changes. No one really knows how Mike Mitchell (director) makes the magic happen but he does.Shrek forever after was released in the cinemas on May 21st 2010. The director (Mike Mitchell) was inspired by he was cickedout of disney and decided to set up dream works and make a parody of it.

The title of the movie is Shrek the final chapter, and it was shown in 3d, The director for this movie and all the other shrek movies were Mike Mitchell, The main actors are, Mike Myers (Shrek), Eddie Murphy (Donkey), Cameron Diaz (Princess Fiona), Walt Dorn (Rumpelstilskin), Jasper Jonannes Andrews (Ogre baby), Ollie Mitchell (Ogre Baby) Miles Christopher Bakshi (Ogre Baby), The film was produced by Dreamworks animations and Paramount pictures. The rating is PG. It is about true love and not moaning about what you have got, You need to be greatful for what you have and not wanting it to go away just because you have the odd speed bump in life is not a big deal.

The plot is Shrek is really unhappy and he tries to make a deal with Rumpelstilskin but does not realize that he is being tricked. Shrek loses everything and then tries to fall in love with Fiona again but it's like Fiona does not know him anymore because everything he had is gone. Fiona does not know whats going on with Shrek and does not know about Shrek making a deal with Rumpelstilskin and her life has just changed all of a sudden. The ogre baby's are crying all the time and for there 1st birthday they get a big cake and then all of a sudden the don't exist anymore. Donkey has a big role trying to believe that Shrek is not lying about them being friends and tries to help Shrek get Fiona back. Rumpelstilskin has a very big role taking everything from Shrek and he want's to take over the whole world.

A big Key moment of the movie would be when everything started to change when Shrek signed his name on the contract and all the magic started to happen and he found himself lying next to his swamp in the forest and he cant find Fiona or the babies but what he does not know is that the babies do not exist anymore and he want's to get the contract and break it. Shrek gets thrown in a carrage and he does not know where he is going and then someone keeps singing and its Donkey, He tries to get him to talk to him but what Donkey does not know is that they are best friends, Shrek breaks out and takes Donkey and finally Donkey starts to get a sense that they are best friends. They come across a village and what they don't know is that its a Ogre village and that Fiona is there.

I recommend this movie to not just kids of adults but a family. I recommended this film because if your into alot of magic as i am then you will love the movie it has a lot of magic in it and gets you off the edge of your seat. There is a lot more in it then just magic and it tought me a lot about respect and not moaning about what you have until it's gone it just happens so don't let everything you have go. I LOVED the movie because it tought me a lot and got me off the edge of my seat.
