Art

Term 1 Art, this term in art i've been working on this painting and vocal points, the first thing i see in my painting would be the spider which is in the middle of the painting. Before we did the painting we had to do a few thumbnail sketches,  one for what our painting will look like, another for if we are going to add something to it to make it look more detailed. 

Here's my finished Painting, for the greenstone and the Maori carving, on one side is green so it can be similar colour to the greenstone and the other side is like a orangy colour so it can be noticeable for the carving...

After finishing my painting we then blue tacked them to the wall for display... 

Vietnam - Jimmy Cliff

The message for this song is: Jimmy Cliff wanted to get across with his song "Vietnam" was that the Vietnam war had to stop because the families were losing all their men, but Jimmy Cliff also wrote this song as a support to the soldiers fighting at war.

Hey, Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam

Yesterday I got a letter from my friend
Fighting in Vietnam
And this is what he had to say
'Tell all my friends that I'll be coming home soon
My time it'll be up some time in June
Don't forget, he said to tell my sweet Mary
Her golden lips as sweet as cherries

And it came from
Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam

It was just the next day his mother got a telegram
It was addressed from Vietnam
Now mistress Brown, she lives in the USA
And this is what she wrote and said
Don't be alarmed, she told me the telegram said
But mistress Brown your son is dead

And it came from
Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
Somebody please stop that war now

It was just the next day his mother got a telegram
It was addressed from Vietnam
Now mistress Brown, she lives in the USA
And this is what she wrote and said
Don't be alarmed, she told me the telegram said
Oh, but mistress Brown your son is dead

And it came from
Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
Somebody please stop it

Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
What I'm saying now somebody stop that war

The song Vietnam was a song written by the singer Jimmy Cliff. The song is about one of the soldiers that are serving in the Vietnam war and writes a letter to his friends, and family about him about to return home.  But, instead of receiving his letter, his mother receives a telegram notifying him about his death. According to Jimmy Cliff, the song was about an artist he knew who was drafted to fight in Vietnam.

Table tennis:
For table tennis we were versing another student in the class or we either got to verse the teacher
we were learning different techniques and we also were getting faster and faster at it once we got
the hand of it. there was also a rule that went like this.. you had to bounce it once on  your side and
then from then on it couldn't touch the table and if it did you were either out or you got to carry it
on.

Here is a few pictures of what/examples of table tennis
