WALTS:** Draw what you can 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 //**I think I started on the black one.**// 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) I was brave - have completed four distinctly **different** works? Did I avoid lines and outlines? 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 to be there? If I was to choose a tiny bit of my work that I love - what would it be and why?
 * //I did quite well on the first one but not the black one.//**
 * //Sometimes I can but I think I could have done better.//**
 * //I started on the second one.//**
 * //I did that on all of them.[[image:http://c1.wikicdn.com/i/c.gif width="22" height="22" caption="Italic"]]//**
 * //I used the crayon trick to figure the proportion.//**
 * //I defintely think I did that one.//**
 * Success Criteria**
 * //I have done all four.//**
 * //I tried to execept the pop art.//**
 * //Some of it is.//**
 * //Not really.//**
 * //On most of them I did except the pop art.//**
 * Questions to challenge myself!**
 * //Why//** do I like or not like a particular work?
 * //I didn't like the black and white because I found it hard.//**
 * //Why//** did I enjoy or not enjoy a particular style?
 * //I enjoy pop art because it is the style I am used to.//**
 * //I love the pop art because its the best one I did.//**
 * Next steps for myself?**


 * //To finish my work so I'm not using my break and lunch to catch up.//**

Samael Clinch C/o Macandrew Intermediate 213 Macandrew Road Dunedin

Dear Sir/Madam

My name is Samael and I'm a student in the Arts Based Class at Macandrew Intermediate. I am writing to let you know about our learning during Term 1 and to enquire as to whether you would be willing to help us cater our exhibition.

During Term 1 our learning was based around the visual arts. On May 6th we’ll be holding an exhibition to display our personal projects that we have been working on. I am writing this letter to ask for a sponsorship, in the form of a platter of ‘finger food’, in support of our exhibition on May 6th. You are of course welcome also to attend our exhibition, 5.30pm on May 6.

I can be contacted on 4553421 or at the above address.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely.

Samael Clinch.

Cope or Fernando Carlo who was a really bad kid from both society standards and his own.Cope recently received a $20,000 check //Time// magazines ad agency.It marked the largest single payday during his career in New Yorks cutthroat art business.But this isn't your avarage up-from-the-streets success story.Carlo is succeding via a talent that once made him something of an outlaw,graffiti.
 * //__Cope Biography__//**

Carlo,born in 1967,made the news in his home toen recently when,for the $20,000,he created a three-story vinyl painted in bold red,orange,green and blue letters spelling out Carlos tag--the name a graffiti artist signs on his work.The piece echoes some of his famous circia-1970s,the sort most New Yorkers considerd an eyesore.

//**Cope with it**.Time// employed the billboard,in Manhhattens SoHo nieghborhood,as part of an ongoing marketing campaign for archives service.But one politician,Councilman Peter Vallone Jr.,decried the use of quadsi-vandilism to sell legitimate product."Its not an art its a crime"he said.

Carlo,who sports tattoos cascading down his arms,broke into legitmate art buisness five years ago,with an aerosel can and more than 20 years of street expereince.He's probably better known by graffiti fans as Cope or Cope2 which has been in New Yorkers' faces since the late 1970's.During his three day stint at Queens studio,his workers included so called "vandalists"many of whom have chalked up a number of arrests for thier artistic endeavors.His own credits include four or five arrests for vandalisim,he says.


 * //Thanks Samael. Ok, you found relevant information but the purpose of this task was for you to improve your own writing skills and I suspect that largely you did not wite this?// //I think this is a Level 1-2 Biography// (Have a look at the matrix on the biography page)

//In terms of next steps for writing a biography, I think you need to consider the following://

Purpose:** Use this information, but also consider what I asked you to find, (education, family, significant events...). Now comes the __learning__ bit! Your next step is to re-organise this information into your own words.
 * Text Organisation:** I can't mark this because you did not organise the text, someone else did!
 * Language Features**: Same as above.

Through My Eyes (World View)

Through my eyes the world is anything you want it to be, a skatepark, a sportsground, a playground. The world is a free for all. No-one tells you what you like, you choose yourself. If you want to skate, you skate, if you want to play sports you do it. The world has a bad side too. People that fight each other because of difference or just because they're angry and so they lash out at people that are different.

Through My Eyes (Art View)

Through my eyes I see artwork on the streets not in a museum or art gallery. Because artists aren't all adults, children are too. I have chosen graffiti art because it has always amazed me what people can do with cans of spraypaint. Cope inspired me to do graffiti because of his throwup tags. The difference between graffiti and tags are graffiti is having permission to do something on a wall and a tag is not having permission to do something on a wall.

What i will say in my interview I learnt how to pass and rip more efficiently. In maths I learnt what ratios are and how to use them. In art I learnt how in pop art light is light and dark is dark. I learnt how to print and make a wood cut. In p.e I learnt how to take your pulse.//**
