Tana Matisse and Picasso


Picasso & Matisse
Picasso and Matisse were two famous painters. They were  friends when they met at a Paris artist school. Matisse was born on December 31st , 1869 at Northern France. Picasso was born on October 25th , 1881 at Malaga Spain. In 1973 Picasso died on the month of April. Matisse died in the age of 84 becoming recognized as a modern artist. One of Matisse’s famous paintings is called ‘Woman with a Hat. Picasso had a famous painting  named The Weeping Woman. I am going to compare and contrast these two paintings.



Although both Picasso's Weeping Woman and Matisse’s Woman with a Hat are portraits of Women they have different themes. The theme of Picasso's  Weeping woman is war. It is showing suffering, anguish and sadness.  Matisse’s mood of drawing is neutral, not sad and not happy. He was  experimenting with colours and a style of painting called fauvism.


Picasso and Matisse used bright  but different colours. Picasso main colours are red, orange and yellow. But he also used green. They are strong colours.  Picasso and Matisse both used unrealistic colours. Matisse used different colours to show shading.


Matisse and Picasso have got different kinds of outline and style. Picasso’s painting has got strong bold outlines and they are dark. Picasso has got two view points but Matisse has got one.  Matisse showed his shapes through different colours.

Both Picasso and Matisse were good famous artists .Their paintings are known all around the world.

The best camp


At our camp we went to the pools and it was cool. When we were at the pools we did some bombs. Our group came third at the camp concert but we did our best. We did amazing race and we came fourth. We had  breakfast.  Every morning we did jump jam. We always went to pools and we went kayaking I always fell down when I went on the canoe but some time I dont fell down. When It is the last day we went to swimarama and that time I cant wait to go to swimarama it is cool as.



The camp was so cool. We went to swimarama and we had morning tea at swimarama and we had lunch at swimarama I had a nice time at the pool. We saw the warrior at the pool and everybody screaming saying warrior warrior. When every body was looking at the warriors me and Niuma went to the diving pool and made some bombs. I went to sliding and slide down and I was scared but after It was cool as so went again and again. we had a nice time I was the first one to get wet. These is my best camp.

 

The Amazing race



Sitting in the marquee with my group, I was eagerly waiting for Mr Barks to tell us what the Amazing race was all about. The Amazing race was one of our camp activities. Mr Barks explained, “There are 3 tasks and you have to work as a team to earn points along the way.” The first activity was making a slingshot.  Joe and I were making the slingshot but Tevita and Unaloto were making the missile. Our slingshot always broke but Joseph’s group made points for our team because they made a good slingshot. When we finished making our slingshot we had to go and shoot to the bucket. We aim carefully to the bucket and we got the bucket that it is 50. It is hard to shoot the missiles to hit the bucket. Because the wind was too strong it made the missiles go off track. It was frustrating because it was windy and we have to finish the slingshot by five minute.
