Manipulated Images and Sharing Night

For Talent Development I had to decide which Manipulated Image I wanted to enter into the Made Awards. I have chosen a photo which is an image of me falling off a cliff. It was hard to get into the right position.


Also, there is Sharing Night tonight and we had to choose a few photos that we have done over the weeks to put on display. I had done many cool ones so it was hard to decide. We had a success criteria and for our Manipulated Image we had to meet everything that was on the list. Like it had to be alphad out properly and had to be original and not the same as somebody else's.
I really enjoy photography and can't wait to find out how I went in the MADE Awards!

Reflection on Term 2 and Key Competency

Hi there readers!


At Enrich today I filled in a Reflection of the term. This is my Reflection on Term 2. As you can see, I had 10 sentence starters to fill in. 


I also filled out a key competency assessment sheet. This was when we had to highlight where we thought we were at with blog posting. Either at the beginning, when you can independently post text and images on your blog and attempt to edit your mistakes on your post. Also there was the at, when you can do the same as the beginning section but you can also post a multi media file with assistance and make you post more colourful. Last of all, there is the above, when you can do all of this with nice colours and aesthetics and you can post a multi media file independently. 


There is the same criteria for managing your independent work time. Beginning, completing your work to a standard you are happy with. At, completing tasks within the timeline and to a satisfactory standard. Above, when you can complete your tasks within the timeline and to a high standard.


For the blog post section I put myself at the above stage but didn't highlight the multi media bit as I can't post a multi media file independently. That is something I need to work on for next term. For the managing self section I put myself at the above stage fully because I reckon I complete my work to a high standard and within the time line. 

Photography Talent Development

Today for Talent Development Photography we went onto this awesome photo website called Photo Funia. On this website you choose a photo of yourself that you have taken on Photo Booth then choose a theme or place where you want your photo to be. I put my photo on a huge billboard! I was famous. It was really cool! After we had done that we revisited green screening. My first green screen creation for this week was me crouching beside a bunch of flowers. The next one that I have started is going to be me falling of a cliff! Poor me. This is the photo of me from Photo Funia.

Kowhaiwhai Patterns

For a few days now I have been working on Kowhaiwhai patterns. Kowhaiwhai patterns is when you draw lots of different Maori patterns on a piece of paper then trace them onto a wooden plank with two other designs. So it ends up with three designs on one plank. Once you have traced it on then you paint the background. The only colours you are allowed to use are red, black and white. Next you paint the koru patterns.One of the most important things you must remember is to use a suitable size brush for certain patterns otherwise the paint will go out of the lines and it would look messy. I used a thinner brush for the smaller koru patterns. I really enjoy art so this was a really awesome experience for me. This is the Kowhaiwhai pattern I have created. As you can see, I have only used red black and white. 

Green Screening

Today the photography group learnt how to green screen! That is when you choose a background and then take a picture of yourself in front of the green screen. Then you copy and paste yourself onto the background you have chosen and then add any changes. Also, before you do this, you need to put your photo onto Keynote then alpha out the green. It's really fun!
