Timata’s Visual Arts Inquiry Learning Story

Term 3 2019

How do we communicate our ideas and opinions about an issue through
visual arts?

  

  My Art Inquiry

My presentation about My art inquiry

The problem I chose was Climate change and I used a slide show to use different slides
to explain my questions and ideas. I used charcoal because I want to use charcoal
techniques to show how climate change is affecting the world.

I want you to know that I was good at Finding out because I know what I need,
what I will talk about with my partner and finding more info on our issue.

I was also good at going further because I know what I need to do, how I can
extend my thinking and what other questions we could ask.

The key competency I used well was thinking because I made sure I got
on with the inquiry and to make the right choice to be in the right space.

I want you to know that I need to work on is stop messing around when it’s
learning time because if I didn’t do that we would be finishing.

The key competency that will help me next time is managing myself because
I need to manage when it is work time to get my inquiry complete.

 I want you to know that I found it hard when I should be with a supportive
partner to help me get an inquiry done.

My Moment in Time

Title THE DAY

Seconds before I got the stage I thought “I’m gonna mess it up on stage!”
\but then I also thought “you won't you have done this before”.

As I hear the drum play loud I know I can’t but walked on stage with lights
shining on me and I hear the crowd cheering I thought with fear “I hope this
will be a success”. While I performed I look through the crowd to look for my
family but then I forgot about it and had resumed.  

As the drums played again the ground felt like it was a volcano that shook and
I could hear the crowd cheering for us so then I thought “this wasn’t as bad as
I thought?”. But I was pouring with sweat and I accidentally messed up an
action then my face was red but I pulled through.

At “The Final part of the performance”, it was a little embarrassing because
I was doing the action and I did something different then but I continued with
the dance but I was thinking, “ Why did I do that?”. 

Timatas degital tech😁

"The technology of today's is the Science of tomorrow"


I want to talk to you about MINECRAFT and GOOGLE DOODLE because I want you to know how digital tech is used in these games.

A Google doodle is an activity on Hour of code but it takes you to Scratch and you can edit the OG logo of Google and make your own logo. We made a google doodle for our principals farewell  we had to use effective sprits, images and backgrounds to tell a story about her and she loved what we created for her.



The key comps I used well in Scratch was Managing self because I chose to look for the right spot to make my Google Doodle done for my principal.

I want you to know that I was good at Minecraft because Minecraft is like a game of LIFE but it's all blocks and it's in strange ways of playing. Minecraft is a survival game and theres a mode thats called CREATIVE you can make anything. to your heart's desire 


The key comps I used well in Minecraft was Managing self because I make sure that the game is fair and fun.

art learning story pakeha taking Maori land writing

          Inquiry Term 1 2019 How do Artists use their voice to make a change through Art.

This is my picture showing my thoughts about Pakeha taking Maori land. On one side I have drawn the English people who came to New- Zealand and took our land, the other side of the picture is Maori, showing the fight for our land.

The learning I am doing historic art about New Zealand and this included Dawn raids on Pacifika people in New-Zealand.

I'm sharing this with my family because I know that you don't like land being taken. I added to this idea of Maori and Pakeha by adding the country in the middle. Land is important to Maori because it is like a part of us.

The key competencies I used were managing self by not getting distracted by others. I also got this work published and up on the wall.

My next step in Inquiry art is to learn more skills in art, like blending, shading and making my art pop!




















This piece of art shows very powerful learning because this art is a part of my culture and I'm very proud of being Maori. My art represents that I feel sad that pakeha came and stole my land. I hope this art makes other people think about Maori land getting stolen is wrong The pakeha came to Aotearoa came and stole our land but they already had their own land and I think it's unfear.

Socially engaged art this term has helped me to think.

Timata book trailer

This is my Book Trailer.
The learning I am doing is when I've finished my book I can give
people that I want to persuade to read it a little detail in the book
to inspire and persuade them to try the book.

I want to share this with you because I am getting back into
reading and I want to read more in book choosing.

The key competency I used was managing self by not talking to others and not getting distracted by anyone.

My next steps are moving to somewhere where I can be stuck in my book.

Book Trailer

This is about my book called THE WILD ROBOT ESCAPES by Peter Brown.

The Wild Robot Escapes is a book that would make you go "hmmm?"
because after a few pages you start to wonder where the robots next
adventure will begin. I want to persuade so you can try out this book.
It has many themes in it. You can experience how this story goes by following their adventures, passion, feelings, sadness, happiness, love, care in this story.

You can read this book and find how and why the robot gets these

emotions.

Camp learning story

I want to show this to you my whanau about my most significant learning.

These three journeys were the most challenging activities I could try.

I had anxiety I was thinking I was not going to camp and I was a little
scared of how I thought it was.

                                   Bushwalk

The most significant learning on the bush walk was managing myself by
helping others and making sure they are okay and using a stick to pull them up.

So this could help me in the future is if someone is drowning I could use a
big stick to pull them up and check up on them like at camp.

                                   Ropes

The next most significant learning was the ropes. When it was the beam I was getting the support that made me climb. I felt like I was climbing a mountain and I was tightroping on the beam. This is participating and contributing because this could help me in the future if someone gets stuck up two beams, I can climb and tightrope along the beams down.    

Maths Snapshot

Maths Learning

I want to share this with you because I think maths is my passion and I want to continue with it.

The problem was about who was right between Helen and Timata. It was a fractions problem.

Helen: 2/3 = 4/6 + 6/9
Timata: had 2/3 = 4/6
+8/6

I used my maths smarts to re-read the problem to understand it. I learned that the denominator has to be the same or then you can't add them.

The Key Competencies I used were Thinking when adding the fractions together and Managing Self by not getting distracted by other people.

My next steps are to always stay focused on my learning by sitting in the right place and remembering to wear my glasses.
