Pull it apart What factors contributed to your learning? What challenged you?	I spent every Wednesday apart from morning tea and lunch time working on my dragon. The technology challenges challenged me a lot.
Make connections What did you learn to do better? What sort of thinking helped you?	I learned to cooperate with others better The technology challenge helped me learn to cooperate better with others.
Make judgements My progress was...	I made progress in art with my awesome dragon Drago and in movie making with my earthquake safety video.

Crackle crackle

This morning I have crackle painted Drago. Soon I will be touching up the copper. When you apply the crackle paint you put two colors on. First you put the gold on then you put the black on while the gold is still wet then it
cracks.

Drago

Hello this is my papier mache dragon I just named Drago.

So far I have primer painted him and put metallic copper acrylic

on him. There are only 3 days to finish him before he goes in the bank art gallery Invercargill New Zealand. The exhibition starts on the 5.12.2011.

Art talent development

Hi Robert
You have done a great job of your dragon so far and I have been really impressed with the way you problem solved and persevered when you were making the wings. He will look great when he is finished so keep up the hard work!

My papier mache skeleton

Today I made a papier mache skeleton for talent development 2011 which is art.

It is a dragon.

So far I have made the legs and the tail of the dragon. To give it shape I made it out of newspaper and rolled it tight then covered it in paper tape.

First I am making a skeleton made of paper then I will coat it with two layers of paper mache.
