Avatar reflection blog post 

For our first winter exhibition, each grade made boxes relating to how lessons from avatar teach us about the real world. Our driving question was “ what does James Cameron‘s world of avatar reveal about our society?”

I made two boxes for the Exhibition. One was representing our destroyed and polluted planet with humans heading to pandora to take over. in my second box (my pandora world) I made a box showing the humans trying to take over pandora.

It am pretty proud of my boxes and I think allot of people at the expiation liked them too!

I think I did a good job at presenting and many people said it made allot more sense when I explained how the story from my box connected to my theme statement, which was-‘if we keep destroying our planet we need to remember we only have one.’’Many people found the topic I was talking about very important and they liked the detail I put in my boxes.

In avatar they were destroying the home tree because in the movie they were using pandora as a planet ‘B’’and taking all natures resources for granted and taking with no respect for the Na’vi  or their nature.

This teaches us to respect ur planet and it shows what could happen in our future if we don’t do any thing about destruction and start making changes in how we live.

Making the box:

To create my first world (the destroyed planet) I used:

 -paint on the back round

 -resin to make the polluted water 

– some cereal boxes to make factories

For pandora I used:

-Paint for the background

-Moss for the ground 

-Sticks on the ground as decoration 

-fairy lights to make it more visible 

-A branch for the home tree with some leaves on top

-The humans were little figure’s from Michaels 

-The Na’vi people i made by printing out images of them and then I stuck them to cardboard to make them stand upright 

I have a couple of questions about the movie avatar itself including-

 -Why was Jake chosen by the spirt seeds, even though he was a human and his avatar was      fake?

-What are the Na’vi afraid of?

-What is their Na’vi biggest frustration?

This Project has made me open my eyes and realize some major issues in our world and I was happy to share the Things I learned with others as the winter exhibition.

This also kind of opened a window to our nature for me, I already knew about Pollution  and preserving nature but this let me extend and share my Knowledge with others. 

This can lead to me and others really step up for what we think is right. 🙂

Making interesting images

How might I use the still image to create and communicate through technology?

My three favorite skills I learned are probably:

1. Opacity-because I really love how the images look when you lower the opacity, and I will definitely be using these skills in the future.

2. Worms eye view and Birds Eye view because as I said, I have some photo ideas for those techniques.

3.Mark up-because it is super fun to make regular objects into art!

YouTube channel 

The purpose of this assignment was to identify something that I was passionate about, so I wrote all about how I want to be a fashion designer. My YouTube channel would be about clothes, DIY’s, hauls, outfit inspiration and GRWM. I even designed  logos for it!

I think I did good because I worked hard and stayed on task. My performance in this assignment tells people that I am creative, and that  have a passion for clothes. It would be so much fun to make clothes and share how to make them with the world!

Bucket list 

I love bucket lists because I want to have a adventures life with loads of things to do!
The purpose of the assignment was to identify what you want to do in a lifetime. I would love to do these things one day. I think I did good at coming up with ambitious things to do. Now what does this  say about me? Well,  if you look at my list you will see that I love to travel and that I am quite ambitious. Here are some things on my bucket list:

Dream board

This assignment was to show your dreams and what you day dream about. I think my teachers wanted me to learn to reach for my goals and plot them down, similar to the bucket list. I think I did well on my dream board because I drew some nice illustrations and kept it neat. My performance in this project shows what I am passionate, creative and adventures.
