Child Trafficking (Social Studies)

Child Trafficking

This research is about Child Trafficking. We got to pick between 3 subjects such as child soldiers, child slaves and child trafficking. My group picked child trafficking because it was really the only one we hadn't actually learned about. Child trafficking is when someone illegally takes a child from there home to force them into work like slavery or they even use them for prostitution. They normally take females so that they can sell them for money.

I have learned that trafficking doesn't just happen in one place but it occurs all over the world and there are thousands of people a year forced into trafficking.

My most useful research was ZOE International because it shared their stories and let us know all the facts about what is happening around the world. They also tell us how they are trying to help and prevent this from happening more.

In health, we have been learning about identity and the different identities that come under Hoara.

Spiritual Well-being:
I think spiritual well-being is where you belong and what you believe in. Knowing how you feel towards things and expressing your religion.

LITHOGRAPH (1971)



Orphism:
It was an offshoot of cubism that was more focused on brighter colours and pure abstraction.
Orphism is also known as Orphic Cubism which is a short-lived art movement. It was originally made by French painters Robert Delaunay, Sonja Delaunay and Fernand Leger.

This week in art we have been studying and drawing some Sonja Delaunay artwork and created our own. We drew our own drawings on some paper and then split them into two drawings and redrew them on some lino. We started to cut them out as well.

Second drawing on lino

Learning Outcome:
To have an understanding of Sonja Delaunay, Orphism, colour theory through linocut printmaking. Having an understanding of leading lines and focal points.

Our Learning Process:
To research Sonja's artwork and to create some thumbnail sketches. We researched facts about Sonja Delaunay. We created some inspired artwork by her and coloured them in to make them pop. We then started to add them to our lino.

What would I change?
I would flip the drawing I drew on the lino because at the moment when I print it will face to opposite way to what I have drawn it in colour.

Art (Micheal Mew Inspired)

In art, we have been learning about Micheal Mew and the art we made. We then made our own art inspired by him. We cut out some magazine pictures and then placed them on our paper and moved them around until we were happy with our results. We had to add leading lines into the art piece as well. We also drew a bird that represented our school. Mohua, Riroriro, Tieke, Korimako, and Pipiwharauroa. 

This is my end result:

Riroriro

My leading lines are the yellow lines at the top and the highlight colour that goes through my darkest colour at the bottom left. My other leading line is the brunch that leads to my focal point which is the bird.
I decided that I wanted to paint the red and blue colour instead of adding a photo in, so I painted with the colours red and blue and made them intertwine instead of blend because I liked that better.
The bird I draw was the Riroriro. This bird means active with energetic singing. I decided on this bird because I thought it was cute and different, I had never seen a bird like that before. This bird is also known as the Grey Warbler.
I am pretty happy with my results and would do it again.

Supergirl (Welcome To Earth)

Super Girl: Welcome To Earth



A message from Supergirl, Welcome to Earth is that you shouldn’t judge people by where they come from or where they grew up.
This is because everyone is different and no one is going to be the same so we have to respect that.
We saw this in the scene where Kara apologies to Mon-El about accusing him of trying to kill the president.
This is why I think it is important to respect one another and everyone's differences.
It makes me think that people aren't always true to others and some people are more respected than other people and it shouldn't be like that.
