This past week we learned all about sketches pro. Sketches pro is an app that you can draw on. It is really cool because there are lots of different tools. The one I like best is probably the water colour tool because you can make lots of really pretty sunsets. There are lots of different tools like the paintbrush,  crayons, smudge, and lots more.

Word art

The word art is a Word that we picked. I picked energy. After we had our word we made all the letters into bubble letters. This was really fun and I really enjoyed colouring them. I used a bright and cheerful palette. I choose the word energy because I always have lots of energy.  I like the font that I did it in because its really bubbly.

Robot

This was really fun to make because we used shapes to make our robot. Shapes like squares, circles, ovals, triangles and many more. We also made 3d shapes. I made a 3d square and 3d rectangles, when we made our shapes we got to experiment with the different tools we have on sketches pro. Our Robots didn’t take long to make because it wasn’t that hard. It took our class one class to finish our robots. My robots name is Mesty the zesty robot!

Emoji

My emoji was kind of hard to make. It took me also one class to make. It was hard to make the face so I imported a photo into the emoji. I think I could have done a better job. But the good thing is it’s funny to look at. It’s the Roblox man face emoji.

Brand

This was really fun to make because I got to make my own brand and my own logo. I had lots of fun making my logo. My brand is a pet brand for Crested geckos. This is a store that only sells crested gecko items. Anything you would need for a Crested gecko would be there. There would be crested gecko food, toys, hides, substrate, plants, and of course crested geckos with lots of morphs.

I hope you liked my post on my sketches pro journey so far!

Power play and how it started. This was the name of our project. Our project was not the most fun we’ve ever done but it was ok. Our project was about the medieval times. The funnest part was probably when we made a picture of us and we put our faces onto the medieval art  pieces. This is mine:

It looks kind of wired but thats ok! It looks like me when I think. We male lots of little things like  this art choice chart:

Now I know what your thinking, thats a lot of words. Yes, I know. This was not that hard but I had to do it with really old photos. One box alone took me like 10 minutes. Some boxes where easier than others but still not impossible. The book that we read for the project was called the book of the lion. I do not recommend it if you want to read something. The book of the lion is about a guy and he goes to the holy land. I don’t want to spoil it for you if you want to read it but most of my class didn’t like the book. We did role sheets to go with the book. We only did three because we finished in week three of reading it.  The last little thing that we did was a sketch and tell. This is like a chart with two sides and on one side you sketch and on the other  side you explain what is happening in your chart/ drawing.

The question for this assignment was how do societies gain and loose power? my answer, for this was society contain and lose power because of land if they gain a lot of land, then they get higher up in the classes, and if they lose land, then nobody really pay attention to them so they lose power. If you want to know what’s happening in my drawing than read the other side. That’s all we did in this project but we will start another one soon and I will keep you updated. 

The outsiders 

If you where in PLP in grade 8 you probably did this.

I’ll tell you what it was about, it is not that boring. Because I will make it fun!

The outsiders is a book and a movie. The main character is Pony boy. His best friend is Johnny. They are greasers. There are socs witch are the popular people that are rich and mean. The outsiders was a pretty good book. If your bored and want to read something then read the outsiders! The theme is sad, exiting, funny and lots more. During the project we had to do lots of little assignments. We did lots of role sheet. Role sheets are like sheets of questions that you have to answer and draw pictures for your answer you have. Another thing about the outsiders is the kids smoke and drink alcohol. If your like me it’s a bit concerning. We did lots of assignments and ill talk about some of them. The Driving question, The driving question was “how can text help me understand my wold view as its changing?” This was an assignment to write a paragraph about how my world view is changing. The next assignment that I will be telling you about is my MindNode. This one wasn’t that hard and we just wrote about world view. It was really easy to format because we did it in an app called MindNode. The last assignment that I will be talking about is my Outsiders scavenger hunt. This was fun to do because it took up a hole class and it was relatively easy. You basically just have to find the correct answer to each question and then put it in the correct place.

Song

We also made a song. That was terrible we had to make a song about our wold view. We backed it off of the song its the end of the world as we know it by Bill Berry, Mike Mills, Michale stipe, Peter Buck. But we made a remix. By “we’’ I mean Siena, Daniel and I.

Anyways it was hard to make. Also we hade to time it right. It took us about 2-3 weeks. After the book we watched the movie. The movie was really good but it was so quick. When the movie was halfway done in the book it was in the 2nd chapter! It’s like that in Harry Potter too. This song made no sense to me but we did it anyway. We recorded it on garage band and we had to time it perfectly with the beat. That was really hard and we had to delete one big part because we weren’t on beat. It was sad deleting it but it had to be done. 

<— This is our song lyrics.

Conclusion 

After all the struggle and stress I finally got to the finish line of the project. I handed the last assignment. I struggled one last time. I almost gave up one last time. But I made it through the project. So I just wanted to tell you the story of the outsiders project. I hope you liked reading it. Because you made it this far I want to give you a little snack: 🍟🧁🍿🍦🍩 the best part is you don’t have to share with anyone! The snacks are all yours! See you next time

Hi, welcome to my first post EVER! My teacher told me to write a post on anything I wanted to  I’m going to talk about some of my hobbies.

Hockey

I have a lot of hobbies. One of my favourite hobbies is playing hockey. Ice hockey is really fun if you know how to skate. I know how to skate really well and its no harder then walking on land for me. But People that don’t play hockey most likely can’t skate. I’ve been playing hockey for 9 years. I love playing hockey because this year in the one of the best one’s on the team and I’ve scored 5 goals so far.

 Skiing

Skiing is also one of my hobbies. I love skiing in the winter. I tried snowboarding but it hurt my butt and it was too hard. So I stuck to skiing. I mostly go skiing after school so it’s not as busy as the weekends. I love skiing with my friends and it’s really great because we are all around the same level. So that means we can start and finish around the same time. I also do mountain biking but mostly in the summer with my friends. Our bike coach is Em for short. She is a wold champion for ski cross. She won gold in the worlds and she went to Italy for the tournament.

 Animals

I also like hanging out with animals. I don’t mean that I pretend I am a princess. I mean I like playing with dogs and holding geckos. Some of my favourite animals are Horses, Monkeys, Crested geckos, Chinese cave geckos and dogs.My mom use to have a horse. She has had horses ever since she was a kid. I love horses because I think they are really attaching animals and protective. They can also be kind of  mean. They get scared really easily and if they do get spooked they will most likely kick you or run.

End

I also will gladly do that in mostly of my free time. I do like lots of other things but I think that would take a lot longer than a post. So thanks for reading! See you next time.
