Tech Reflection - 3D Shape Game

Today for tech Mr Pineda (tutor teacher) set a game based on 3D shapes. Examples of 3D shapes are cuboid, sphere, cone prism etc. For this activity there 3 games and for one of the game we were to see how many faces, edges, and vertices there were in the shape given. For example if the questions says how many vertices does a cuboid the answer will of course be 8. There are lives in this game and if you get a incorrect answer you loose 1 life. There is a maximum of 4 lives. I really enjoyed this game and hope to play it again next time.

Today was our fourth session for art and will be our last session since we are rotating next week. For our last session of art we finished of our wakahuia (wakahuia is special jewelry box) drawings. We learnt that there is two different types of wakahuia which is the traditional one and the contemporary one. The traditional wakahuia includes feathers from the huia birds and has more cultural Maori patterns. It also consist carving on it.The contemporary is the opposite. It has no feathers from the huia bird has no carving on it. It has less details and patterns. My wakahuia drawing above has two different parts to it. The drawing of lid is at the bottom and my patterns are on the top. A big thank you to Mrs Telefoni for teaching us last term and a bit of this term.

Today was our second session of art for term 2. Today we had a reliever name Mr Pineda who is a graphic teacher. Today we learnt what a light, shade and shadow are. For this task we were to draw shapes like a circle and then we had to add a light shade where the sun is facing and a dark shade where the sun is not facing. To make the shade more notable and darker we blended the blue with the green. Then the last bit was to draw the reflection of the shape which is usually at the bottom. For this activity I have drawn a square and a triangular prism. It was pretty easy since I've done this with my teacher for the past previous years.

Today we had our 5th session of art for tech. We were to finish off carving our drawings and then were to move to inking our art. The color of the ink had to be a light color which was yellow. After inking our piece of wood we were to put it in a A4 paper and put it on the roll presser. This will be traced on the A4 paper. We were to do 3 of these which was pretty hard.

Today we had our third tech session with our art teacher Mrs Telefoni. We were finishing of our drawings from last week and colored them in to make them look outstanding. The rule was, you had to use 5 colors and two of them had to be yellow and white. After coloring them we were to transfer our drawing into a cardboard piece of wood. One of my favorite drawings of my art was the palm tree. The palm tree represents the land of my culture (Tonga). It also represents the tradition food we eat from the palm tree which is the coconut. Believe me or not it is nice.

Today as one of our we listed of everyday symbols we see for example I always see Mc Donald's when I go to my house sometimes. After that we had our second task.
