~Digital art~

Last week we did digital art, we created an abstract art piece called Flox. I wanted mine to look abstract and neat at the same time which would be hard because it is Flox art. We had to layer our images play with the size and angle add a background colour and pattern. We then added a bird I choose a moorpork. I made three different versions and choose which one I liked best.

This is my first version:

This is my second version, I added a few different layers.
And this is my final product

                        The mysterious creature

                                    ~ By Kaitlyn Botha ~ 

The stars gleamed like diamonds,

The twigs pricked like thorns.

Our clothes flowed like curtains in the breeze,

and branches were like claws.

The roses withered grey as coal,

Our lanterns dim, our faces cold.

Shadows loomed black as night creating silhouettes giving us a fright.

Vines are creeping like someone sneaking.

The water was as still as night.

Goblins crawling lanterns flickering,

something’s eying us I’m feeling jittery.

These first few days in the Kāhu Hapori have been exciting and different. We have been doing a lot of new and fun work, such as applying for new jobs. I applied to become a bell monitor, a librarian and part of the linguists. We have also been working on our lanterns that we are going to display at the Chinese new year’s festival on the 15th of February, which is also the night of our first camp meeting. This year we get to do Tech , I have chosen Baking as my first option, Enviro as my second and Cooking as my third. Wonder which one I’ll be doing this term, we should find out soon. I am looking forward to doing Tech and learning new skills in my first term of being an intermediate. Overall I think that being a Kāhu student is great!
