Later in the term, the whole school is taking part in a visual arts exhibition. You will have to make your own piece of visual art.

We are LEARNING, CREATING AND SHARING through the ARTS

Success Criteria of the art

• No larger than A3
• Must be super high quality (your absolute personal best)
• Must be a type of visual art
• Must be aesthetically pleasing (it has to look good)
• It must challenge you (aim high)

There is an example of how to do Task 2 on the wall.

Task 1

3. Each butterfly will be a symbol of something I enjoy or love eg Family, Friends, Quotes, Sport, Cultra, Home, School, Animals, The World,
4. Each butterfly will be coloured different colours for it still to look like a butterfly. t
5. The butterfly that represents quotes will be melted crayon and then the quote will be written in black sharpie or gel pen

Stan Walker

The Arts, Music, Drama, Dance and Visual Art

I have chosen to blog this because I am curious about the arts. I think there is alot happening aroung the school supporting this event.

This Term our school is studying the ARTS. So far we have done things like an art trail around Parkvale, researched artists (So far I have researched Jamie Curry and Stan Walker) and have planed our art for an art exhibition coming up, there is lots more for us to explore later in the term.

I have been blogging a lot about Jamie Curry, so this time I am going to give you a brief about what we are doing for Literacy in the class and how it revolves about the ARTS. My teacher for the next three weeks is Miss Plimmer and in my group I am studying Stan Walker.

This my report writing

Who is He

Stan Walker is one of 5 children to parents April and Ross. Walker is an international artist. He was born in Melbourne Australia on the  23rd of  October 1990. Stan Walker is of maori descent and is from the Ngati Tuhoe and Tuwharetoa tribes in New Zealand.

Early Life

His family moved to Mt Maunganui and grew up on their whanau marae. Stan and his siblings were schooled in New Zealand. Walker's father and mother were jailed for dealing illegal drugs, and Stan’s father was also jailed for robbery. He started attending church after hearing about a girl who had a similar upbringing to him. It was at church when Stan began to use his voice for music and showcase his raw talent. He says his passion for music and church made him a good boy again. Ever since the age of 12 Walker has admired Guy Sebastian as he won the first season of Australian Idol. Later in life, Stan Walker moved back to Coolangatta Australia where he worked in a men's clothing shop. Early in 2009 Stan lost a daughter to his then-partner; the tattoo on Walker's neck symbolises Ataahua which in Maori means beautiful.

Fame

At the age of 19 Stan auditioned for Australian Idol. As nervous as he was he blew the judges away by singing John Legends, ‘Ordinary People’. Throughout the Australian Idol series, Walker was applauded for his voice and the song choices he made. He received praise from the judges, with Kyle Sandilands saying, “you are the only person I talked about after the auditions, I told my friends, family and people I saw about you.”

Stan made it to the semis then the grand final with fellow competitor Kate Cook. After the viewer votes had been counted, it was announced Walker had won. He was the first person of New Zealand descent to win the Australian Idol. Walker was then signed to sony music and received a development found of $200,000. During this time he established his own company called Stan Walker Music Pty Ltd which is managed by his mum April Walker.  

Other successes and awards

Stan’s first album was ‘Introducing Stan’, where his song ‘Black Box’ hit number 1 singles in New Zealand and  number 2 singles in Australia. He has published over 80,000 albums in New Zealand and Australia. Walker has been nominated twice for Kids Choice Nickelodeon Awards, and has also won the Waiata Maori Award. Walker just released a new album called ‘Truth and Soul’.

Conclusion

The background of Walker's childhood has attributed to the international artist he is now. He has come a long way after being a terrified young man at the Sydney Opera House.

 

Miss Plimmer has made reading and writing very fun for me as I enjoy singing and writing. We had to chose a song of Stan's, and remix it into our own words. I had to work out the syllables of the verses and chorus. My words were about the upbringing of  Stan Walker.

Listen here 

Lyrics

Cross Country, Moment In Time

My Goal is to extend or clarify meaning and engage the audience.

I choose to blog this because I am very proud of the effort I have added into this moment in time.

Butterflies flew around in my stomach as the microphone went crazy, I was ready. All I  could think about was staying close to Aniela.  The speaker squeaked again “Go”  yelled Mr G. I sprinted like a tiger chasing down a deer. I was shocked, I was leading the race.  Sprinting around the cones keeping my paste, I could hear footsteps coming from behind, I knew she would catch me I thought. I took snippets every 5 seconds but all I saw were glares of her. We were both going through the spiral of learning, I grit my teeth as she accelerated past me. I can only do my best I thought. I was leaping high over the hurdles as the crowd quietly cheered. 

I looked behind me, no one was there, pheww I thought. I went back to chasing her but it didn't work. Aniela looked behind and gassed a little more. My brain twisted and turned, I desperately wanted 1st place. I was onto my 2nd lap. As tired as I was, I was still giving it heaps. In through your nose out through your mouth, Ideas were zooming through my mind. Another lap down one to go. I was yet again in the spiral of learning whoopie, just about finished. Over the hurdles and around the bend. Sprinting down the home strait, everyone was yelling when I crossed the line. I fell to my knees gasping for breath, everything went so sudden, Mr M was running over with my inhaler, Mrs B was telling it was okay and to relax. I knelled there for a while and then got up, I walked to the desk well wiping the sweat of my face. My final result was 2nd but I’m fine with that. Now it’s time to focus for inter schools I muttered.
