The Fashion Parade

On the last day of term one there was a fashion parade in the ABE Centre. Some students modelled, some wrote descriptions, some read out the descriptions and others watched. The outfits were gorgeous and the models were good sports.

Thanks for joining in.

The Bellelli Family

This picture shows Degas' aunt with her husband and her daughters. The aunt stands in a regal and protective way, staring sadly past her children and husband. One daughter restrained by her mother’s hand on her shoulder, crosses her hands nervously and stares straight ahead. The other daughter screens her fists to her waist and looks towards her father. They are dressed in black and white. Her husband is shown apart from them, next to the desk and in front of the fireplace.
I like this painting because you can see some beautiful clothes from a long time ago.

Woman Ironing

Woman Ironing


I have chosen the painting “Woman Ironing” It was painted by Edgar Degas in 1869. Degas was born in Paris, France in 1834 and he was the old master of the impressionists.

In this painting, I can see Degas’s interest in poor people and respect for them.
It shows a poor woman of Paris who laundered shirts and did other menial tasks.

I chose this painting because it shows a scene from real life and also it reminds me of my everyday life.

Stage 3: Excursion to The Art Gallery of NSW

Wow! What a beautiful day out together. Jenny and Llewella's class traveled to the Art Gallery by train on Friday 28th March and the weather was perfect. We had a wonderful tour of some of the indigenous artworks led a by a very interesting lady. She explained the stories told through the indigenous art - it was fascinating and made the artworks come alive. They are not just curves and dots and lines. Each represents something special to the indigenous people. We also saw an exhibition of photos by Michael Riley - a fabulous indigenous photographer. The photos were amazing. Afterwards we ate lunch in the Domain soaking up the sun.

The Garden at Sainte Adresse

Garden at Sainte Adresse
I have chosen the painting “The Garden at Sainte Adresse.” It was painted by Claude Monet in 1868. Monet was born in Paris, France in 1890 and was an impressionist artist.
In this painting, I can see Monet’s love of the family. This shows Monet’s family’s social life. The father dominates the scene.
I chose this painting because it reminds me of the old days & I feel comfortable with the scene and more relaxed.

The Luncheon

“THE LUNCHEON.”

I have chosen the painting. It was painted by Claude Monet in 1868. Monet was born in Paris, France in 1840 and was an impressionist.

In this painting. I can see Monet’s love of the family. It shows Monet’s family with Camille, his frequent model, and their son, Jean. it shows a warm, domestic scene. In this work, Monet gives the inviting impression that the empty place at the table is set for the person who is viewing the painting.

I chose this painting because it reminds me of back home in the olden days of how they dressed in fancy clothes, hats and how they wore gloves.

It also shows the family sat round the table and had meals all together.
It makes me feel like I’m back home.

The Cafe' Terrace at Night

“THE CAFÉ TERRACE AT NIGHT”

I have chosen my painting. It was painted by Vincent Van Gogh in 1885.
Van Gogh was born on March 30, 1853 and the pictures show a richly coloured Paris night.

In this painting. I can see three kinds of lights .It shows a gas lamp which reaches out from the café and softer light comes from the windows, the third kind of light comes from the stars in the heavens.

I chose this painting because it reminds me of Lebanon.
I love the stylish café in the centre and the colours are shown in a generous way.
It makes me think I’m in my own country.

The aboriginal people believed the Diamonds come from scale of Barramundi fish.

The right time the fish swam in the river and jumped the light scales were taken off
and the aboriginal people collected them.

Aboriginal used diamonds for to make marks on their body especially women.

Every Bat had different shape and colour .They are called fruit Bats because these Bats just eat fruit .Also they had circle of life like a human circle life.

Cave

There was a painting about the caves when the white people gathered the aboriginal people and forced them into the cave, then they lit a fire in front of the cave so the smoke would kill them.

But the aboriginal people knew there were many tunnels between the caves that the white people didn’t know about it, so they found their way out through these tunnels.

The knowledge of the aboriginal people and their attachment to the land gave them the chance to escape and save themselves.
