LO: Define the language of film using visual & sound techniques.

Our task do was to create a fun way to share our photography shots and meanings. I created a slideshow with an explanation and an image showing each photography shot used in the film. 

My wonderings of this activity are how they use all these different angles and combined them into a film, and all math in well together.

Samoan Language Week - Art

In class, we were researching about Samoan Language week and some of the Key areas around Samoa. Something I chose to research about Samoan art, and the meanings behind them. 

Something that interested me about this topic is their art always has a meaning behind is. Something I saw something in many bits of art is Pasifika art was commonly used. 

 Traditional art represents traditional values and traditional habits, which shape the identity of each individual living in Western Samoa and therefore play an important role in the artwork people create.

The art between New Zealand is that Samon art has more patterns in It and New Zealand has is more outdoors with nature.

Wooden Art - 3D Name

During the lockdown period, we had some long wood leftover from doing up our backyard bark area. We wanted to do something with it so it was out of the way, so I created a wooden 3D name board. This took me 4 days to Draw, Cut, File, Sand, and polish the wood.

The equipment I used was:

• File
• Sander 
• Clamp 
• Drill
• Woodcutter/band saw 

This was my end result - 

I'm currently in the progress of creating one of our class and also creating letters for my brother's birthday!
