Drama Homework

In our last lesson I learned how to create a scenario and what a scenario is. 
In our short scene our scenario was:
Place: In the way to the underworld waiting for the boat
Time: Around Midnight
Situation: Waiting for a boat
Characters: Devil and Dead.

WWW (what went well)
I think that our scenario was good because it was a creative scene and apropriate for our script. Also our acting went well because we got into our characters shoes.

EBI (even better if)
It would have been better if we had said our lines louder because the way that we said the lines Ms.Hurst couldn't hear us, so next time we will be louder.

In our first Drama lesson we started by doing two exercises one was the steping on the foot exercise, the secound was that we had to walk around the room until Ms.Hurst had to tell us what to do like when she said clear the space we had to stand against the wall.
Then we had to produce a scene that Ms.Hurst had created the script. It was fun to do our scene and i realy like how our scenario was.

This was our last lesson :( , of art and we continued our portraits. Unfortunately we didn't finish them so we are going to have to do them as home work. I used water color pencils. It was a very productive lesson because now i only have to do the background and a bit of the clothes.

Japanese Culture

Our homework was to pick a culture and i chose Japan.

Japanese are known for there hard work. Children are taught to respect their parents and bosses, also help their family. Japanese eat a lot of rice and not much meat, they have been planting rice for 23000 years. In Japan people greet each other by bowing instead of shaking hands. Japanese use Hashi to eat.

Arts

Origami is a traditional type of art when you have a square piece of paper and folded in to a shape of an animal, a thing, etc.

Kimono is a type of clothes that you wear in Japan. It is a one piece of clothing like a dress but boys can also wear them. The word kimono is originally mean clothes but recently it has been used for specifically the traditional Japanese clothing.

One of the greatest Japanese paintings is the Great Wave off Kanagawa, the artist is Katsushika Hokusai. Its a tsunami and in the back there is the mount Fuji.

My plan is to Draw the mount of Fuji in the background and make an origami bird and in some way glue it to the background. I will use coloring pencils and maybe use water colors for the background.

Last lesson we started sketching the whole face together. First we received half of a woman's face from a magazine and then we had to draw the face proportions to sketch the rest of her face. It wasn't easy but i cant say it was  the hardest thing of my life, was long as you knew the face proportions it was easy. However it was the first time i had sketched the face with proportions. Then we had to sketch the face with the proportions which was harder because then he had no reference.
Next lesson we will be starting our face portraits.
