Mount Tarawera eruption

Volcano:

I didn’t mean to blow my scorching steam

But I just wanted to be seen 

My heart broke every time people came to visit,

my rivals the pink and white terraces

I will never forget what I have done 

I know it was a long run

I hope I haven’t caused much trouble

BUT YOU ASKED FOR IT!!!

I guess what I am trying to say is I am very sorry

The People :

You stupid piece of land 

You may as well be a wasteland

We hope you know what you have done

You burst your bubble leaving a mess  

That we all have to address

We hope you are happy now 

Christchurch earthquake poem

Christchurch earthquake poem:

The house

I shake with fear

I stand here limp with a broken heart

I am cracked from the top to the bottom

I have been abandoned, left and forgotten 

My tears have pooled around me 

My fate has already been decided 

  

The people

My car my house it’s all gone

I can’t find my loved ones

I hobble across the debris 

with only the clothes on my back 

If only I had taken my family and left the last time this happened

Separation poem

Separation poem:

As every day passes I drift further and further away

I know I should be having fun here in Auckland 

But I can’t stop thinking about you 

My quick, budget meals don’t compare to your cooking

Your creative trait obviously hasn’t been passed down to me 

And my driving skills are terrible

I go back to my apartment day after day all alone 

The only company I have is my new cat Fluffy

I wish you were here

The time has finally come

I am no longer here by myself I am so glad you could make it 

My heart is beating a million miles an hour just at the smell of your perfume.   

Practise

We were practicing backgrounds and hills.

Light and Dark

I was practicing making 3D shapes and adding dark and light.  

Designing my own coins

We had to design our own coins and this is mine. I decided to have the beach on one side because NZ has some really nice beaches. I also decided to do the koru and the pohutukawa because NZ is known for them.

NZ Daisy

 

This is my drawing I did of an NZ Daisy after looking at this picture.

                 I decided to do my artwork like this because I really liked the part about the land and the red-tipped dawn and the ocean so I tried to incorporate it all into my drawing. 

When I listened to the prayer this is the image I got in my head. 

KIwiana poem

This is my Kiwiana poem about tomato sauce. I really like this poem because it makes me think.
