Visual Arts

For Project X Term 4 2019, I am doing Visual Arts, the task is called “Pour your heart out”. In it, you pour paint into a cup and either pour or flip  it then pull the cup up, so the paint goes everywhere. It is a very messy task we will be doing multiple tries to get it perfect. In this task you have to learn patience, because most of the time if you try and tilt it too much it will ruin it. You also need to practice self management because as soon as you start pouring the paint, you can’t leave your project until you think that it is ready to dry. Another power is creativity when you are thinking of the colours.

Camp

This was the abseiling tower that year 7 was set to accomplish. The small side (the one being viewed now) is nine meters tall. The one behind it was twenty meters tall. Everyone in each group had the opportunity to go on both. To get up, you went on a human elevator. On top of the taller tower was an amazing view. You could see all the way down the mountain range.

The camp was a fun experience that all of the year sevens got to enjoy. We challenged ourselves in many ways, with rock climbing, abseiling, the pamper pole, and more fun activities. Everyone had to get out of their comfort zone in at least one activity. I know it was a challenge for me to get up the pamper pole and jumping off, but for others, it might have been easy, and their challenge was doing it as fast as they can.  We had to use persistence when we were walking to our campsite because it was 3 and a half hours. We showed creativity when making our bags and doing screen printing. In fishing, we showed resilience and also patience because fishing takes a lot of time. We were in groups that we haven’t been in to expand our friendship groups in any way possible (day groups, dorms, tents, and more).
