A Dinosaur Blog

First we mixed 1/3 Plaster Of Paris and 2/3 of water into a cup and mixed it up, We then added in a small plastic dinosaur and waited 2 days so that our Plaster of Paris would be rock solid. After 2 days have passed we got some nails and a hammer and we dug up our Dinosaurs. It was very messy but it was fun. It went all over our hands and all over the floor. Sadly some peoples Dinosaurs experiment did not work. 

Bugsy Malone

Today we ran the whole musical and it was so fun to see it all put into one show. I think I need help on when to come in for the dances im in and I need to build confidence to be on stage and not be all shy. As a class I think we all need to work on being quiet backstage because at the moment its very loud backstage. I really like the ending how we all become friends and how we just have fun while being serious at times.

1920s Style Clothing ~ A roaring twenties themed event is one of my favorite decades to dress up for. It is both incredibly glamorous and not too difficult to find something to wear. This wasn’t always the case. When I began researching and writing about 1920s fashion there was little to choose from. Now thanks to several movies and TV series set in the 1920s, twenties fashion, clothing and costumes are everywhere!  For gentlemen, the pinstripe gangster is a classic but so is the more casual vintage 20s working man or sophisticated Jay Gatsby or Peaky Blinders gang. Although the flapper dress or gangster costume is still the most popular roaring 20s outfits to re-create there are many 1920s costume that are not flapper outfits you can make or buy. All of these 1920s fashion are explored below with links to help you create your unique 20s costume.


1920s buildings ~  The styles of buildings were all Gothic, this type of style is intricate and very fancy. On a Gothic type of building you could spend hours on a single wall, due to all the detail. In Modern 1920 the design was simplistic and very functional, it was all about new designs. The 1920's was the time of the skyscraper. The industrial companies were doing very well and this allowed for architects to make big buildings. This was especially true in Chicago, due to the fire that happened.

Bugsy Malone

Yesterday period 3 - 5 we went to our first lessons of Passion Projects. The Teachers we had were Mrs Clark, Mrs Beer, Mr Taylor and Ms Richardson. We first watched a 1 hour and 41 minute Musical about Bugsy Malone, to see what we were doing but we were going to make it shorter. We then put our names down for what part we would like to play, I put my name down for a gang member and Tallulah. We also cad to sing in front of  Mrs Beer and Ms Richardson I sung Flashlight by Jessie J.  We had a read through of the script and got a chance to look at the script so we understand it . We dont know who has what parts yet but im hoping I get the part for Tallulah. Also my Friend Alesha put her name down for Fat Sam and A boxer so i hope she gets the parts as well.

Cybersmart

Today 8Bh and 8Ts worked in the Learning commons for cybersmart. For cybersmart we are working on Narrowing Search results, I think we are learning this because when we search things we want a quick find and to find what we want and not other topics. I learnt how to search for my topic I want find more about and make it come up with the right things, I also learnt about the small tabs on google when we search. It will help me with my blogging so I can find things faster when im in a hurry.

With makeup tools and tricks, you can age an actor, create wounds, and turn someone into an alien or monster.

- Choreographer -  Choreographers create routines for individual performers, competitions, musical performances, marching bands, ballets and other spectacles. They create dance and movement routines, sometimes by revising or combining existing routines.

- Dance, Actor, Singers - Theatre tap (also called Broadway or Show Tap) is a much more presentational style of dance, and concerns itself with the aesthetics of the entire dancing body. Some foundational tap vocabulary includes: Time steps: a dancer keeps time, or the musical beat, with her feet

- Scenery designer -Scenic design (also known as scenography, stage design, set design, or production design) is the creation of theatrical, as well as film or television scenery. ... Scenic designers design sets and scenery that aim to support the overall artistic goals of the production.

- Costume designer - A costume designer is a person who designs costumes for a film, stage production or television. The role of the costume designer is to create the characters' outfits/costumes and balance the scenes with texture and colour, etc.

My Questions

-Who made blogger?

: The term "weblog" was coined by Jorn Barger on 17 December 1997. The short form, "blog," was coined by Peter Merholz, who jokingly broke the word weblog into the phrase we blog in the sidebar of his blog Peterme.com in April or May 1999.
