Muic Relfection

I had quite enjoyed music last term because it had focused a bit more on instruments and I thought that it was really nice to have more time doing practical stuff. One skill I had learned last term was being able to use the pedal on the piano, I did get to perform the song I had learned was Clair De Lune By Debussy and I was quite happy with the way it had turned out, I will definitely be taking music next term and I wanna try and focus more on the piano and how to incorporate the pedals.

Music

 The song I will be performing In music is called clair de lune, it's a classical piano piece by Debussy. I'll be doing a solo because it's a bit easier to practice because I won't have to try and teach someone else and myself at the same time, I think I need to work on using the piano pedals a bit more to make the song feel more like its self since the song is very harmonious, I think trying to implement the pedel and the keys will be hard but it will be a good challenge.

Visual Art: Transcription Street Art

In Art we have been looking at various types of street murals, we were to look at different cultural types of murals or just any art style. I quite enjoyed the proccess of having to use a grid and use a different section of the art, I used half of the Face and tried to have my own spin on it which somehow worked but the orginal by Lionel Smit is still way better. I Think I could try do the whole proccess again and use paint instead and try use different brushes or palate knives to make it rough but soft.

Street Art: mural

I quite enjoy this mural not only because its vibrant and has really good attention to detail but the shading and the lighting is really beautiful and it has this affect of dragging your eyes in and theres so much tiny details that is why i'm so intrigued with this mural.

Celebrating Cultures

The Kete Celebrating culture, I created a poster board about my culture of South Africa, I had a few conflicts of what I would make but I thought I would go out of my comfort zone and just pushed myself, It was very hard to think of things to write about or put on the board. But I had decided to write about my life in Africa and a map of South Africa with some animal information, Then for some reason I made a Springbok out of clay to push it further.

Art - Collage

In art we were given a task of doing a collage of anything we could find in a random magazine, and it took awhile to find something that interested me but once I saw this one bright yellow page with a wine bottle and the quote saying "It's an Italian thing" I knew I had to improvise something with it which was a difficult task to do since nothing really matched or made sense together but I took advantage of that and tried to make it as complex as possible.

After some Intense thinking and constantly going back to the drawing board I came up with masterpiece, one thing I'm really proud of is the hammerhead shark in a sequence skirt then I plopped in some flowers and the leading lines to try and make the wine the focus.
