How About A Healthy Salad?

The rain poured down on the windows and the roof of the Enrich building. The sun was not out and smiling, but it was a perfect day for art. On a wooden chopping board there laid a red and green pepper, a dark purple onion and two exquisite courgettes. Paper and pencils is all we need, no more paint just sketching. The sun was beginning to shine as we started on our sketches, the sound of kids rehearsing plays and the sound of keyboards filled the room and echoed in our minds. Everyone is very proud of their efforts today at Enrich and just before I started darkening my lines the sun came out from behind the clouds and shined brightly in the sky. Darryn is framing my picture so I thought you would like a look at it...
 Have a nice evening! :)

Lets Go To The Beach...

Sketching has one important rule, look. You need to look constantly at what you are drawing for a accurate Sketch. Darryn first got us to draw a balloon man holding balloons. As the sun outside hid behind the clouds and the rain starting hitting the windows we got started on our sketches. Afterwards he lay down a pear overlapping a banana. He drew it then put the fruit in the middle, and next he placed a load of bottles down and we got to pick which one we wanted to draw. The smell of spray-paint hovered in the air because for passion project some people were doing spray painting. I was struggling with the man-made set up as Darryn calls it so he placed two shells in-front of me and I started sketching and started thinking about the beach.

Warriors

Hey blog readers!!!

The chess pieces clattered in a heap on the black and white chessboard. The sun outside shone through the windows as I positioned my soldiers. My opponent was on the opposite side of the board. My knight hit the board with a thump as she dragged it away. I had lost one of my pieces so I took her bishop. The sun was dimming and hiding behind the clouds outside as I moved my king out of check. A booming started as the music played, we were rushing to get our game packed up. The sound of chess pieces falling into the container was like waves crashing against the rocks at the beach. The music got quieter as we sprinted down to the mat.

Watch The Time...

Paint shirts on, paints out and get started! For talent development I am doing art and today we are painting our apples. Afterwards at 12.00 we have to do our blog post. The smell of fresh and splattered paint scented the air like a minty air refresher in a car.

I have already painted my dark grey background (which is more grey then a dark grey) The sun outside was hiding behind the clouds as I got started doing my light green for my apple because apples aren't just red and shiny with the big stalk and the leaf, it has a very light colour under the faded red. Darryn always says light colours first.

After I finished my apple I moved on to the plate underneath. I made it white with a hint of black so it wasn't a perfect white. After I finished my plate the clock struck 12.30 and we were supposed to do or blogging at 12.00 so we have to watch the time...
