Art Portfolio Sample

Description: Every Year at Russell Street School, we do an art sample, for our Calendar/ Dairy Art. The Art that we did in Poutama for 2016, We did an art style that we call 'Making Marks', We call it Making Marks because the marks tell us a story about ourselves. My Marks has a Theme, and that Theme is of course Japan, because Japan plays a big part in my career and my life. You can see the things that are Japanese themed in the top flag, my family, on my jacket and in the Baby Metal section. The other two slots aren't Japanese themed and the one on the right is Christen themed because i'm Christen and that play's a big part in my 'LIFE'. The one on the left is a rainbow background because I like rainbows and it says that i'm mostly always happy. The last section on the bottom is just black because I want it to make my portrait pop.  

Slide:

Art:

Feedback: I think you did a really good job on the description and how you explained yourself. :-D
                                                                                                                      -Mayson Maru/ Reko Yuki
Feedforward: I don't think you really need to work on anything. (-:

Evaluation: I think that I did well at creating art that is realistic and not manga because I think that manga is my strength but realistic isn't but next time I would make my person more lower so I could have more room for the marks. 

Do Dreams Really Die? Writing Portfolio Sample

Description: This term in writing we split up into different groups depending on what our writing goal was. Last term we decided what our writing goal was going to be. I chose 'Words' because I'm not that good with words. Since I'm 'REALLY' passionate about Japan I 'OF COURSE' Wrote a story about Japan, hope you enjoy my story! ^-^

Feedback: you did a great job on your writing and you did a lot of writing

Feedforward: I did not find any thing bad about your writing or your post!!!!

Evaluation: I think that I did a good job at writing what I think would probably would have happened if I was stuck in Japan with out a job, But I don't think I used many good 'non boring words' so I think I still need to work on words. ^-^

ET Reo portfolio post

Description: So its close to the end of Term 3 which can only mean two things, 1 Its close to the last day of being at Russell Street School and I feel like I want to cry when someone brings it up because I'm going to miss the teachers and some of my friends A LOT! but at least I can still come here every Sunday because my church runs here but I won't be able to see the teaches unless they come on Sunday morning to do some work like Nic did once. Any way I'm getting a bit side tracked so the second this that this means is that its another SLC, so we have to make an ET Reo post. In ET Reo we have been learning some Whakatauki. So what is a Whakatauki? A Whakatauki is a quote and this one that I'm doing a post about is "He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tangata! He tangata! He tangata!" Which translates to "What is the most important thing in the world? The People! The People! The People!" To represent this quote we did some art, to put something on the wall like this:

Our Art:

My one:

 My one is the one on the right is my art and its a  picture of Nalla Chan from our anime that is yet  to come and the other one  is on the left is Katies  and I taught her how to draw in the manga style.  ^-^











Feedback: i think that your art looks really good.

Feedforward: i think that you could have made it look a bit more like you.
Caitlin.

Evaluation: I think that my art is pretty good because I tried to give Nalla Chan some texturing and not just colouring her in and also give the eyes that Green, Blue and Purple half gradient effect but not full on gradient and I think that I but the highlights in a good place to give the eye some life. But I think that the body is a bit too small and the hair isn't just like her hair style in the Anime and I don't think that I should have done the eye patch because she doesn't wear one. But Its still better than I imagined. ^-^

Book buddies ^-^

Description: This term in Poutama we have been participating in this new reading program called Book Buddies but BB 4 short. My book buddy is Katie and we called our "Kawaii Girls" and we're reading a book called 'My Brothers Secret' And its a story that takes place in Germany in world war 2 and the main is an 11 year old boy that used to love Hitler and was in the Hitler boys group but after his Papa died he has hated Hitler and wants to become an Edelwise pirate like his brother and his brothers girl friend and makes a new friend who's name is Lisa. Thats all I can say because I don't want to spoil it for you so if you want to read the book you can and its My Brothers Secret by Dan Smith.

Our slide:

Feedback: I think you did really good! on doing the description and explaining what bbs are and what your books about.
                                                                                                           -Mayson Maru/Reko Yuki
Feedforward: I think you need to work on making you i's capital

Evaluation: I think that this book is really good because sometimes it's calm but then sometimes unexpectedly something bad happens like Karls mum slaps Kriminal Inspektor Wolf in the face then he gets mad and then punches Karl's mum to the ground and holds a pistol at her like that was unexpected.

Measurement portfolio sample

Description: This term we've been learning measurement maths. we're doing measurement because of a rich task that we are learning towards. So in maths we usually have workshops to do with what our focus is on in maths, and since we are learning measurement we can choose what kind of workshop we want to take. There are workshops on: capacity, area, weight or length. I mainly focused on capacity because I just want to get one right at a time.  

My slide:

Feedback: You did a good job on your description

Feedforward: But next time you could not go on and on about your description but you did good.

Evaluation: I think that I did well at this rich task because usually I'm really bad at rich tasks but I think now I've improved.
