MY PERSPECTIVE ART

This is perspective art. Perspective art is when the picture looks 3D, like it’s going into the paper. First you have to choose a horizon line (if you don’t know what a horizon line is then scroll down and read my other blog post). For this art you usually make your horizon line on the top third so you have more room to add cool drawings (I cut mine off in the photo). My one is a desert, as you can see the train tracks look like they are going into the paper. Well that's because I chose a point on the horizon line where the train track meets, as they get further away the track gets thinner. The trick is to make the drawings that are close to you big and the ones further away are smaller. Well there you have it, it is REALLY EASY!!




I would love to do it again and I hope you give it a go!

MY SPUNKY ANZAC ART

This is my Anzac art. I did it with my Mum and my brother. It was quite fun, I learnt about landscapes and horizon lines. A landscape has to be outside and you have to have a horizon line. For example, a paddock could be a landscape. It basically means an outside picture or painting from far off so that you get the whole thing. A horizon line is where the land and the sky meet or the sea and the sky. To make your art more interesting put the horizon line on the bottom third of the paper or the top third. It is quite boring If you just have it bang in the middle.




To make my art I used charcoal, pastel, oil and pencil. It was pretty easy. I got a picture of soldiers and put them up the window. Then I traced around it and colored in their silhouettes.




It was really fun and I would like to do it again!

My Weekend Recount

MY WEEKEND





This weekend I had quite a bit of fun, I played and made games, I got up early on Anzac day and I even went crawlyling.




“Jack, Jack, GET UP” Mum said as I slowly rose up from the spot I had been lying asleep. I got up, rubbed my sleepy eyes and looked at Mum. She told me that it was Anzac day. Then she left to get on her own clothes. I lay back down, closed my eyes and just lay there. I got up and put on some warm clothes and shuffled into the kitchen to wait for Mum and Dad. Mum came out and then Dad. Dad went to make his coffee and Mum and I waited for him. It was nearly six so Mum and I ambled off to the mailbox. Mum drew out her phone and played the radio so that we could listen to the service. For the rest of that day me and Charlie made huts inside and played in them. The next day I went crawlying.




The sun was setting as me and my little brother asked Dad if we could go crawlying. He said “go do your chores and we will see”. So we did, Dad said yes. Yay! We got all ready and then we left. Then we turned on our headlights and had a look. I spotted a crawly and Charlie moved in for the kill, aannnnnndddddd………… SPLASH!! Charlie grabbed the first crawly, the first and definitely not the last! We kept on catching crawly after crawly. We came to a place with crawlies galore. I spotted a huge one down near the bottom and there was another biggish one over top of it on a rock. First Charlie grabbed the biggish one. I climbed up the bank of the water race and flagged dad down. He stopped and I told him what we saw. He came down and shifted some of the bigger rocks around the crawly so we could get at him better. Then Charlie plunged his hand into the water……. KA-SPLOOSH!! Charlie had just grabbed THE BIGGEST CRAWLY WE HAD CAUGHT THAT NIGHT. We only took home 7 and let the others go. It was all good fun! The next day Charlie and I made some games.




On Monday I made some board games, one was called ‘I Bet, U Gamble’. It is a game where you start off with five hundred dollars and you place down your money that you wish to gamble for. You have two dice each and you try to roll doubles (like six and six). You have to pay to play. It is quite fun. I made another one called ‘NATIONS AT WAR’. It is a bit like Dungeons And Dragons. You have to conquer the other nations. To win every one has to be dead and the nation with the most other nations conquered wins.




THAT WAS MY WEEKEND!!!
