Lion King 4/12/2017

Today was the first time we went to the auditorium.

Practising properly for the first time was went better than expected. Mostly everyone knows most of their lines as well as their timing to go on and off stage.

Since I am part of the Barb Chorus all I needed to work on was the chords and timing to go on and off stage. I picked out a cheetah print cloak as my costume. I love cheetahs so that's what I'm going to go as.

Drama Culture

The Thinker (French: Le Penseur) is a bronze sculpture by Auguste Rodin, usually placed on a stone pedestal. The work shows a nude male figure of over life-size sitting on a rock with his chin resting on one hand as though deep in thought and is often used as an image to represent philosophy.

;The Thinker was originally conceived as part of Rodin's design for a set of bronze doors for a museum in Paris. This figure represented Dante Alighieri, an early Italian Renaissance poet. Rodin depicted Dante reflecting on The Divine Comedy, his epic poem about heaven, hell, and the fate of all humankind.

Circle Of Life

Today we have started to learn the song Circle of Life.
The song Circle of Life is about animals big and small gather round to cheerish the newborn royal lion cub. The song of course is about the newborn cub seeing his surroundings.

We learned some helpful voice breathing exercises which actually do help.
Diaphragm

• Stomach in and out
• Not shoulders

Another tip to reach high notes is to lower your jaw, and if nessersary you can bend your knees.

My goal is to try get the role of Shenzi- Hyena (Boss Girl) :3

UK Culture

The urge to tell posterity “I was here” runs through art from Jackson Pollock, who allegedly hid a giant signature in one of his most famous abstract paintings, right back to Jan van Eyck, the grandfather of oil painting. His masterpiece,The Arnolfini Portrait, contains an elaborate Latin signature on the wall behind the couple, "Jan van Eyck was here 1434", while in the mirror above, two tiny figures, discernible only with a magnifying glass, stand in the position of the artist looking at the scene, one of them – generally presumed to be van Eyck himself – raising his hand in greeting to viewers down the ages (see image below).

Hans Holbein the Younger, The Ambassadors (National Gallery, London)

These well-dressed gentlemen may appear in the pink of youthful health and confidence, but look from the lower left or right and the diagonal blur in the foreground reveals itself as a skull rendered in anamorphic perspective. The idea of the memento mori – the reminder of death – was common, though why it should have been so prominently attached to these young men, French ambassadors to London, remains a mystery. The painting may have been designed to a hang on a stairwell, so that the passing householder encountered the hollow-eyed skull as a salutary reminder of the vanity of earthly things.

Space Monkey 100 word challenge 2/11/2017

It's not a planet, Its our home

The Space ship door blasted into the air as the chimp walked across the bluegrass. The Buildings were marble with shiny glass panes. The chimp looked up to a surprise that the sky was grey. The Sun looked as if It was being drained. All of a sudden it was pitch black. The chimp walked across from where he thought the buildings were. He came across a wall. The wall looked like solid stone. It had vines leading into the misty sky. The stone was cold and frozen as if the temperature dropped rapidly. The chimp looked back to find himself surrounded by humans with electronic guns.

Quail Island 2017

Quail Island/Otamahua is South East of Christchurch

Māori knew Quail Island as Ōtamahua, the ‘place to gather sea-bird eggs’. Bird life must have been important, for Captain William Mein Smith named it after the now-extinct native quail. Europeans farmed the island from 1851 but its importance increased after 1874 when the provincial government accepted Thomas Potts’s offer to use it as a quarantine station. Sir Julius Vogel’s assisted migration scheme was peaking and immigrants were flooding into the southern provinces especially. New Zealand’s European population surged from 60,000 in 1860 to 470,000 by 1881. Although most migrants arrived fit and well, the authorities implemented disease prevention measures at the major ports. Before anyone disembarked, officials checked the health of the government migrants and the condition of the ship, and heard complaints. Ships with sick people aboard had to raise the yellow flag and go into quarantine, a dismal introduction to the New World for people who had already been cooped up for three to five uncomfortable months at sea.

Construction started before the island’s sale could be completed, so the government built cheaply and simply. In February 1875 the Rakaia (which had lost 11 passengers and still had 100 mumps cases aboard) became the first ship to use Quail Island. It would not be the last, but with migration tapering off in the late 1870s and steam taking over from the mid-1880s, the need to quarantine people declined sharply. From 1881 livestock were also detained here, most famously the dogs and ponies used by Antarctic explorers. Between 1901 and 1929 the Shackleton, Scott and Byrd expeditions all used Quail Island.

Finally, do not miss the ‘Ships’ Graveyard’ on the western side of the island. In the 19th and early 20th centuries old hulks 'graced' most major ports. Otago and Lyttelton harbours still contain ships’ graveyards. Quail Island’s is the bigger. Depending on the state of the tide, you may make out the decaying remains of eight vessels: the Queen, Mullogh, Lyttelton, La Plata, Waiwera, Frank Guy, Darra and Belle Isle. Most prominent are the early iron steamer Mullogh (1859), right up on the beach; the long frames of the former tea clipper and migrant ship Darra (1865), beached parallel to the shore; and the Frank Guy, a bit further out.

Our aim was to sketch a hero on a peice of paper.

My first idea was wonder woman but that didnt turn out i couldnt find a picture that had an easy outline.

This is why I decided to draw BATMAN!!!

End result:

In the mean time I got bored the next day becuase I had already finished the batman picture.

This why I have made Katelyn (My favourite character) from a minecraft roleplay series.

This is the second day of art this term...... :3
