Warrior Cat Profiles

For my second art project, I decided to make up warrior cats and give them profiles, so that's what I did. First I lined out the boxes that I was going to draw my cats in. Then I decided a name for them based on what they looked like and their personality. After I had decided what position the cats were going to be in, I drew them and coloured them in here are the ones that I did. Then I decided what clan they were going to be in, I had made up four clans, CloudClan, StormClan, IceClan and SunClan. I made up symbols for each clan based on the real ones from the books. Then I wrote the information about them beside the picture. The headlines I decided to include in that was:

• Their name
• Their age (in moons and years)
• Their gender (tom or she-cat)
• Their status in the clan
• What clan they were in
• If they had an apprentice and if they did who they were
• Their litter mates
• Their mate and if they had one
• Their parents
• What they looked like and any distinctive features that might make them unique
• Then I also did their personality

Though keep in mind that it's much much easier to make your profiles once you have read the book, but it won't we a waste of time, the books are REALLY GOOD!☺️☻
Tell me what you think about my profiles in the comments.

My Powtoon On The First Book In My FAVOURITE Book Series

For my reading I had to make a powtoon on a book that I had recently read, and since I had just started reading my favourite book series again, I thought it was a fun idea. Powtoon is a website where you can make awesome animated videos with text, images, videos and lots more, you should really check it out if you don't know what it is already. Either way, here's the link to my powtoon -> Into The Wild Powtoon

I added lots of special effects, different types of fonts and images that related to the topic and more stuff like that. And I think I did a pretty good job. Check it out for yourself, write your feedback in the comments, so that I know how I can improve my work next time I make one, which will probably be soon. Overall I think the my powtoon turned out great and that it really expresses my love for the series, watch till the end to see what I put on the last two slides. Thanks for reading this post, and hopefully you will try out powtoon, AND the warrior series, for which Into The Wild is the first book. What do you think I could have done better with my powtoon?

Textures Art Activity

While my class has been in lock down, my teacher has been setting us fun and exciting tasks for school. One of them was to find a art activity or colouring sheet and do it, then post it on your blog. So here I am doing that. What I decided to do was this textures worksheet that I found on one of my teachers blogs. I thought that it would be fun to try draw different textures that I hadn't tried before, one thing I was particularly excited about doing was the snake skin as I thought it would be quite intriguing to try and draw. But for most of the other boxes and circles I added my own spin onto the topics.
For example, for the horse fur I did zebra fur as a zebra is still practically a horse. And for the "make this ball look like a rock", I did stone bricks, the only big difference is that there are multiple rocks instead of one like the instructions said. One of the main reasons I chose to do this sheet, was because of how it looked. Don't ask me why, I have no idea. Anyway here's what it looks like.
On the page It had 5 boxes and three balls to draw the textures in. It also had two questions to answer about texture. The first one was what is texture? My answer to that was...
Texture is the feeling or appearance of a substance or surface. The second question was, how can we draw textures? And I wrote down "by using different shades and shapes". I really enjoyed doing this sheet. It was super fun to draw all the textures and to think about how the textures were going to look. I actually learnt a lesson doing this sheet, that it's okay to twist the rules around a bit to let your creativity flow and break the obstacles in your path of art. I really recommend that you try out this activity sheet too, if you like drawing then I guarantee that you'll find it as fun as I did!☺️

How To Make Feijoa Juice

Prep time: 15 minutes

Serves: 8 glasses

Ingredients:
11 feijoas
2 tablespoons of sugar
1 ½ tablespoons of honey
2 cups of water

Method:
1. Start by picking out your feijoas. I used eleven but if you want your drink to be thinner or thicker
then you can change up the ratios.

2. Next cut your feijoas in half, then use a spoon to scoop out the pulp from the inside.
You can put them straight into the blender but I preferred putting them into a small bowl.

3. Once you’ve finished scooping out all the pulp, tip them into your blender - unless they were already in there - and add the water, sugar and honey.

4. Turn on the blender, checking it every now and then to see if everything is combined.

5. Once the mixture is smooth and no lumps of feijoa pulp is left, pour into a bottle or jug and put into the fridge until served.

6. Enjoy! Serve with ice cubes and a sprig of mint.

Tips:
1) Double the mixture if you are wishing to make a large batch, blend for longer.

2) Feel free to dilute the drink with one part juice on part water if you are used to subtle drinks.

3) Use a serrated knife to cut the feijoas in half, and a medium sized spoon to scoop out the pulp.

4) When you first start blending the drink, do it with the pulse option then move onto the other continuous ones.

Book review on Curse by Joseph Delaney

Curse

Written by Joseph Delany

Illustrated by David Wyatt

Curse is an ambitious thriller written by Joseph Delaney, that will send you on a roller coaster of a ride as you read through this intriguing book. It's the second book in this amazing series containing 13 books hopefully with more to come.

Thomas Ward is no ordinary boy with a mother of mysterious background and a father like every other man. After he is apprenticed by the county's spook and sent packing, his future leans towards the paranormal and the darkness creeping in the edge of his mind. But as they set off towards priest town for a funeral following the death of the spooks dead brother, Tom senses his master's true intentions are to finish off what he started 20 years ago in the catacombs underneath the cathedral, hiding what he expects to be the death of him…

As soon as I started the first book of the series I knew that this was the series for me. I love reading the spooks series, it fills me with wonder excitement and thrill. The plot twists completely change your view of the story and the description of the events and and creatures help create images in your mind. This is why I Strongly recommend that you read all the books from the spooks series, I guarantee you won’t regret it.

Pastel blending

W.A.L.T blend and shade pastels using oil pastel media.

Me and my class have been doing some pastel art. In this piece of art we have been practising pastel blending and shading. To do this we watched a video on how to create a pastel picture of a moon and a silhouette of a boy in the clouds (the video is down below)`. We didn't have to follow the picture exactly, we just had to include a moon, blended pastel and a silhouette of sorts. I did a silhouette of trees and a moon as we were told to. We were also allowed to change the colour of the sky as long as we blended and shaded it.I decided to keep my night sky blue and black.

It took me about a quarter of an hour to finish this piece of art and I recommend trying it because it was really fun to do, and especially enjoyable to shade and blend the oil pastels once it was on  the paper. How do you think I could improve my pastel art?
