Van Goh๐️๐จ
Kia Ora Readers!
This term in art we have been learning how to do impasto painting. One of our tasks was to research and answer questions about Van Goh. We had to go onto a google doc read the description about Van Goh and go on some websites to find answers to questions. For me it was a little bit tricky to find a answer to the third question because some people had different answers so I was a little confused. But I ended up using my answer I found. I hope you enjoy looking at the answers to the questions!
Answer the following questions and post these to your blog:
What does the word impasto mean? Look up the word in lexipedia.com, then type your answer here:
Impasto means the paintings that show paint strokes from pallet knives and brushes.
How can an impasto brushstrokes express emotions?
It expresses emotions from the texture and how the art looks.
Was Van Gogh one of the first painters to use impasto technique?
No, Van Gogh was not the first painter to use the impasto technique; it was Venetian Renaissance artists Titian and Tintoretto.
When you finish these questions use the information to create a post for your blog about these two paintings.

What is income? ๐ค๐ต
Greetings readers!
Today in wananga this term for our kete we are doing business and enterprise. This term we are going to sell something and before we start doing that we have been learning about different things to do with money. One of the tasks we got set was to find the meaning of income. Every table had a group and had to discus what the meaning of income is. We also had to think of some jobs we can do in the class to get paid on Banquer. ( Banquer is a website that teaches students to use money for the correct things such as paying bills and also teaches them about words to do with money).
Here is my meaning of income:
Income means earning money. Money can be earned in many different ways ( such as income from jobs). The money from income is money you can spend and rely on.
Here are some of the jobs I came up with for my class:
- Pencil sharpener
- Sports gear monitor
- Rubbish monitor
- Recycling monitor
- Turtle monitor
- Barista

My Holidays๐๐
Hello Readers!!!
In the holidays I spent a lot of my time talking to my best friend Amanda. We had a lot of fun talking together on calls. Something interesting that happened was that we did yoga together virtually. One time when me and Amanda were on a call and Tank (Amanda's dog) kept getting in front of Amanda's screen. Another thing we did together on a call was play roblox. Some games we played was club roblox, bloxburg, 3008, guilty and murder mystery. Almost everyday we had a call together and we had a lot of fun. My favourite part of the school holidays was spending time with Amanda even though it was virtually.
Thank you for reading, feel free to comment.
