Pablo Picasso Art - Cubism Final Drawing

Last month we began our our cubism portraits based on Pablo Picasso's cubism art. In cubism you can play around with lots of different shapes and sizes.  The facial like your eye's mouth, face and nose and they can be in different shapes sizes and in place's. 
We did two practice drawing before completing our final product. (You can read my blog about my first drawing - LINK).
Something I found easy was outlining my drawing in black and something difficult was drawing my photo because I had never done this type of art so I didn't know what to do.
This is Pablo Picasso's drawing of the Weeping Woman using cubism.  

This is my drawing using cubism

Maraia - Cousin's 3rd Birthday

 

My Cousin’s 3rd Birthday

 At my house on the 27th of January, it was my cousin Athalia’s 3rd birthday. She stayed the night and when she woke up everyone sang “Happy Birthday” to her.

After we sang “Happy Birthday” to her  we all had breakfast. We had eggs, bacon, french toast, pancakes, fruit salad and homemade whipped cream. In the middle of breakfast, my grandma came home with a  bunch of presents for Athalia but she came in quietly so Athalia wouldn't hear her. When Athalia left the room to go play with Boom (my dog) my grandma asked us to find some wrapping paper for Athalia’s presents but we couldn’t find any wrapping paper so my grandma just gave the presents to her. Her favourite presents was the giant bubbles and the Jenga. After she opened all of the presents, she asked Taniela to set up the giant bubbles. 

After she was done with the giant bubbles, Athalia’s mum called and told my mum that they had organised a party for her. She had planned the party, had picked an outfit, some shoes, a cake and some presents. When we got to the place where Athalia’s mum had planned the party my mum got the clothes from Athalia’s mum to dress her because they were running behind schedule .  

After a little while the adults took a bunch of photos of Athalia with her mum and dad while all of the kids were busy eating snacks.

After the adults were done with the photos the kids were able to eat. I ate my food I felt happy because I hadn’t eaten in what felt like 3 hours.

After everyone finished eating, Athalia opened her presents while the boys were playing with the balloons. Then we took all the balloons outside to the skate park across the road and let them go. 

After we let them go we all played in the skate park and then this guy asked us if he could skate over someone’s head. None of the adults let us sit there but then another guy sat down and let him jump over his head while on a scooter. 

After we let go of all the balloons go we went inside and ate some more food. When we finished eating the adults started to clean up while we were playing games.

After they finished cleaning everyone started to go home and as people were leaving my aunty gave them cake to take home. 

I had a great time at Athalia’s party and I was very happy to spend some time with my family.

Maraia - International Woman's day - 8th March 2021

 International Woman's day

 On the 8th of march it was International Woman's day. In our class we did an activity to challenge the stereotype's and bias of both male and female roles within our society.We first had to get in a group of the same gender. We then wrote down the positives and challenges of the opposite gender. 

After we came up with some ideas we then joined our groups with the opposite gender something we noticed was that the two list were very different. Women had more challenges. For example they were expected to clean the house and take care of the kids. On the other hand, males had more positive's for example they can get paid for playing certain sports that women can't.

We also said that a challenga for males is that they have to provide for the family and always have to be there

Something we learnt from this is that males and females aren't considered equal in lots of aspects of life

Here is the activity me and my group did  

Can you add more stereotypes to this
