Signed by Jive Records

Hello and welcome back to my blog. Today we carried on with Affective Domain about our gifted individual. As you know I was doing Zinzan Brooke but since then I have changed to Chris Brown the singer, songwriter, dancer and actor. I changed to him because I know him a lot more then Zinzan Brooke and he is one of my favourite singers. He was signed by Jive records when he was only 15. In 2008 the billboard named him "Artist of the Year" and in 2011 he won a grammy award for the best R&B album for "F.A.M.E" (the song). I really like Chris Brown because he has lots of cool songs and he is world famous!

Zinzan Brooke

Hello, today at Enrich I did affective study. We had to chose someone who is gifted or that suits Renzulli's model of giftedness (task commitment, above average ability and creativity). I'm doing Zinzan Brooke who was an All Black in 1987 and he was in the very first world cup that New Zealand won. He played as a number 8. But the only thing I'm worried about is if he is actually creative. We have to present our person on a poster, prezi etc. We got a list of things we had to include in our presentation including pictures of mentors/coaches, pictures and facts about our person and lots more. I really enjoy doing this but I'm under pressure with time. Wish me luck!

Impressionism

Hello, today at Enrich I went to the second art workshop with Katie. We looked at Claud Monet's impression art - it is really cool, I like how it's your impression and you can do what ever you want with it as long as you see the picture. We got to paint lily pads in the water which was really cool because we just mixed random colours together and made really cool colours in our water. Claud Monet made simple easy flowers but really effective. The way he painted was called "tache" which is french for touch. In Claud Monet's paintings he brushed landscape for the bits he wanted to stand out,  and vertical for the backgrounds. In paintings today,  people make sure it is perfect but it doesn't have to be perfect. I really like Claud Monets paintings.

The Art Gallery

Hello, today at Enrich I went on an adventure to the Bank Art Gallery. We went to the gallery because we were looking at patterns in art. There were loads of patterns everywhere I was amazed. On the way to the gallery we saw every type of pattern. At the gallery we saw lots of different things like wood carvings, oil on canvas paintings and lots more. My favourite type of paintings was oil on canvas because it stood out and it looked 3d. I didn't like the wood carving because I didn't like the design of it. The trip
was absolutely awesome!

My goat head stonecarving

Hello, I have had a awesome day here at Enrich. But one of the best is getting to do passion time (my goat head stonecarving). I have filed the sides so you don't see the lines/cracks down the sides. I have also made it smoother on the back of the neck, It was usually rough. It's getting better and better as each week flies by. I love working on my stonecarving I really enjoy it. We have also done a time patterns workshop. We had to write down all that we have learnt over the four weeks. We learnt about ancient ways to tell time and about the past, present and future. It was a terrific day at Enrich (like always).

Circus act

Hello, today at Enrich Lauren came in and talked about her life at the circus. The circus was called Aoteroa circus. Lauren did lots of awesome acts. One of the acts was hanging from a fabric tied to the roof of the circus tent and doing cool tricks. Another act was pretending to be a little girl with her three big brothers that didn't want her around. So they kept trying to throw her away and she did flips and somersaults and cool tricks in the air. Lauren also walked across bottles ( champagne bottles because they were thicker and not likely to break. She threw the bottles up in the air at the end and did tricks. Overall it was really cool, amazing and unbelievable!

Prezi

Hello. Today at Enrich, I learnt about Prezi. Prezi is sort of like keynote, but is online and you can share it with the public and lots of cool things. On Prezi you can make a slideshow. First you pick an awesome template or you can make your own. Then there are all these bubble type things that you type in to present your information. When you are finished, you can click on the pages on the side and it will zoom into them. It looks cool when you are at one and then you click on the one that is furtherest away from it and it does a 3D effect to get to it. It looks really cool. I love Prezi because there are loads of things to do on it.
