 * ** My Reflection of Progress in the Arts ** I was proud of my painting because I thought my 3-D effect was very effective as well as my background. The textures I used was a 3-D effect. I learnt how to mix colours to make a new one. I am also proud of my letter becuse I included description in my writing and my presentation was excellent. I thought my background looked so effective. My next step for my painting is to blend my colours better. My next step for my letter is to think of a way to make it more life-like. ||

For our concert next year I would like to have more action. =2010= __Wearable Art Monologue__ The moon glows like a glowworm, built to shine in the night. He is the King and the stars are his guardians. Each night this ruler moves lazily across the cold dark sky. As the sun creeps brightly into the sky, the moon stays because he just can’t be bothered going down. But each day the sun’s flames damage the artistic masterpiece of the night; themoon. Parts of his body are scorched and chared. He gets smaller and smaller until one night the moon goes down to heal very slowly before his return.
