 this is our first prop that my group did. this prop is to help support our body weight that our body was in when we played twister.

the changers that we made was a hammock idea that could help support us also give us comfort when we lie on the hammock. How we made the hammock was that we flipped the table over and use the legs for the structure or hold the the fabric as our hammock, then we used the rope to hold the fabric to the legs.

our improvement that we made was hard and fast because it was supposed to be handed in at 9am today, Friday 18 May, that's the reason for the hard and fast one.

Our next prop we had to make another hammock but constructing it using
2 words we picked that was subtract something and fragment. for fragment
we did the same idea with our first hammock but we added fragments like we
cut the fabric and used rope to make it look like the real hammock also drew on
some cracks because we did not want to make real cracks on the table.

our next hammock idea was subtract something, so we subtract a leg instead of having 4 legs we used 3 legs to make it look like a tripod but up side down. we made this in just an hour, but the hammock connection still we used the same solution like the other ones but made a 3 leg table, and we made a support structure to help the legs stand up.

These are examples that we did that messes with space and mass. I found this workshop funny because we had to create some funny shapes using a stretched material tube. It was hot inside the tube but it was allot of fun making some silly shapes.

We also used sticks and balloons to make evan more funny shapes, these shapes look interesting because of the curves, the twists, roundness of the this silly shape also this shape created something pointed or sharp looking that put the cheery on top.

DRaW, Artext

these are the three images that are similar or kind of the same.  I think these images are interesting because I like the old look of the mid evil idea, also shows creativity in the artwork. in a normal story book the books their would be a page with writing and a picture talking about the story. I think the illuminated text shows a story inside and around the letter that explains the story if you can't understand the language like the Monks language.


I like the design that's been put into these letters because each starting letter has allot going on like the amazing detail, it has something like vines growing around the starting letter and around the page that makes a border. 


Back in the mid evil days illuminated text was printed by hand, and it also had taken hours to complet just one illuminated text. Also in the mid evil days books were made with the illuminated text as well, but these book were made for the wealthy people because the wealthy could read an they can afford to read. To make the illuminated text worth more, they could ad gold to the text. If I was to create a illuminated text, I would draw a parchment font letter then ad Maori patterns inside and around the letter.

DRaW, Interview

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rla9qxRoXis&feature=related 

This interview is about two actors from a movie called The Avengers talking about the how great it was to act like big kids playing superhero and dressing up in their costumes.

I picked this interview because I my self wanted to know more about the movie that just came out this year and I find that the movie is interesting as well. What I found interesting was that the director of The Avengers put all the main characters together and as you watch the movie you would find it exciting to watch if you are really into comics.

One question I agreed with was the interview says, its a comic book fans dream to have all these big star actors, act in the same movie together witch made it more exciting even to watch. The actor Chris Evans says that as an actor you have to respect what the fans want, because they are the ones who would criticize about the movie and I think that is true. I think the people are the boss to movies because they are the ones who pay watch the movies

I think these questions are easy to answer because its simple and easy to reply too, also its the questions that fans would look forward to hear. Like other interviews I think its hard to try reply back with the answer because, if it was me I wouldn't know what to say with a hard question, but I think being an actor your suppose to be prepared for thing like hard questions.

I think this interview was great also interesting because the interviewer asked a question about one part in the movie, the fight scene, where no one wins a fight between Thor, Captain America, Ironman and Hulk because they all have to get along as a superhero group.

DRaW, Research

What I think research is. Research is a use full tool to have as well, because it helps you find out more information about something or someone. I think research is good to have in memory because you can use it to prove people wrong if they think they know things about something or someone. Research is used in allot of things, like a famous persons history, essay's and book work for your self.  Research can be provided to you in different ways like using the computer, reading books or people explaining what they know and shearing the information with you also, experiencing something can be part of research. The way I research is I find someone or something that I'm interested in and I collect a series of their work      
and write about how it makes me feel and also find out the history about the artist. When it comes to research you could gain skills, like tracing an image that you like or copying that image of your choice

Research also comes with brainstorming for ideas to help plan what you need like a word bank, mind map and glossary Where I would look for my research would be in the library, Internet, movies and music. Doing readings is helpful for research because it has allot information about what the reading says, where their is a reading their are comment codes that help you find interesting facts or facts that are not interesting. Movies are useful when it comes to researching because it has allot of facts that are interesting, like I was to watch a super hero movie like the Avengers, that movie would tell me its based on a comic book from Marvel. With music artist like to sample music from other artist like New Zealand Hip Hop artist (PNC) he sampled a song from (The Temptations, Treat her like a lady) and put his spin on the song, so when it come to something like that, sampling music you got to make sure that you write who, what and where the music originated from. That's where resourcing plays a good part in the researching life.
