Amulet, Visual Arts(Sculpture casting)

During Semester 1 2022, I have spent the last 2 terms learning and designing my Amulet for my class of Visual arts Sculpting and Casting.

I believe I met my targets throughout the project as I completed my amulet to the design I wanted it to be and I am happy with how it looks and how it has turned out in the end.

At first my design was influenced by the evil eye and I was originally going to make an eye, but during the process of making an eye I found i had mixed a cooper looking colour with blue and I began to make my amulet into an oxidising copper amulet which in total made it look nice.

during the process of carving my soap it snapped in 2 slowing down my process by me having to make another 1. though this slowed me down it rlly helped me as I was able to make my amulet flatter quicker.

My final design turned out really well i think and I am really happy with it.

Drivers ed

During the drivers ed cource we were introduced to the task to make a poster or video to explain the topic we chose

Me and Charley chose drinking and driving

Q1. I have learnt the effects and the mass amount of injuries and fatalities caused by drink driving around the world, this info has taught me and will help me stay away from the drinking and driving habits in the future.

Q2. Just don’t drink and drive it’s not worth the risk of you or others in the end

Q3. I (me Callum Cleave) promise I will never drink and drive becaue i don’t want anyone or myself to die from my bad habits

Gene Gibson Hass Assessment

Gene Gibson case 2
An Australian Legal System is a place of fair treatment and judgment with the law but sometimes this isn’t true, and people can be badly treated and judged. Today I’ll be talking about West Australian man Gene Gibson and explain how he was not treated equally.

Gene Gibson was an Indigenous Australian living in Kiwirrkurra Broome WA and was suspected to have killed Josh Warneke (Victim) in 2010.

My first statement on how Gene was not treated equally connects with one of the principles of justice, equal treatment before the law. How Gene connects with this is during questioning with police, Gene is illiterate, his first language is indigenous Australian (barely knows any English) and he has been diagnosed to be mentally impaired. with Gene has had all this he did not understand the police, he was not given translation (yet) and signed documents he didn’t know what they were for.
My second statement is that Gene was not allowed a translator till later in the case so Gene didn’t know what was going on at all and he didn’t know what was happening this isn’t as all people deserve a right to equal treatment and gene wasn’t.

ways I think the legal system can improve is to give the right to a translator straight away give equal treatment to those with mental or physical issues and to give people who are illiterate an equal chance and to listen to key witnesses of the case.

In conclusion, i believe Gene Gibson deserved more and shouldn’t have been treated so badly i also believe he didn’t deserve 5 years in prison

Innovated Reflection

$20 Boss - Lesson One - Getting Started - Years 7 to 10 - Cool Australia
$20 Boss Logo

In Innovated this term (term 3) we did a project called $20 Boss where we were trying to think of innovative and original ideas to sell at the propeller.

My Groups Idea was to sell Custom Art/music to our customers to increase their joy into their day when they see something that they like that we made for them, for example, you ask for a jazz song with lyrics we will make it for you within 2 weeks.

up to this point we have been making prototypes, checked our funding and money usage and making a pitch to try and get our money for our business, but we have come to what looks like a conclusion as we have not been able to pitch this term as i am busy most mornings and Ms. Strenz has not been able to hear us in innovated classes.

My Team has described my best attribute as ideate because I came up with the idea and fixed a lot of the problems along the way.

Overall I think $20 Boss was fun but I would not really like to continue it next term as I would like change other than that it was fun and interesting.

The Christmas Market

I thought the Christmas market was good because it taught the life experiences you needed to get yourself into a big full-time job. our team name was the Koalments

the Koalaments sold wood candle holders and Christmas log ornaments we were also lucky enough to sell all of our products so that we could raise even more money to the salvation army.

we changed our prices to lower prices during the Christmas market when we found out we had a competitor who was also selling candles and at the end to draw more customers in we had a massive clearance sale.

our total amount of money we made was $107.70 but in profit minus the 20 dollar float and 30 dollar investment we made a total profit of $57.70.

I am hoping that there will be great innovative minds in the year sevens next year cause I see this being a school tradition for years to come

Health

I really liked the health tasks we dd in team 4 which was online safety.

one of the key things I really liked was Empathy

empathy was a favorite to me cause it taught us that we should be understanding with someone if they are going through a tough time and they have been a little harsh on your feelings lately and that you should try and help them out and try and build their confidence up.

another part that was really useful is that when chatting on social media (messages, snap chat, twitter, facebook, Instagram and more) you cannot show the tone you are speaking in e.g. “I like your hair” could be phrased as kind or could be phrased as sarcasm which really meant “what is that ugly thing on your head” or can be phrased in other ways, it just basically depends what the person you sent it to thinks.

 

If Mr. J was to do this with the year 7’s next year I would say a definite yes cause I know it taught me a lot before I take the leap of faith down the path of the bright and the dark social media and how to use it responsibly and wisely so that I don’t cause others or myself harm. But I would ask him to change one thing (Make them do more interactive tasks e.g. like talking about feeling, doing an act of how a text can go seriously wrong and more so they know how they may handle it in the future)

Thanks for a lovely year Mr. J I really appreciated it
