Term One, Week Three - 15.02.10-19.02.10

A very exciting week, what with Valentine's Day yesterday and my birthday this Friday,(21 again), NZ Post are busy, busy, busy. Should you be thinking of a present - chocolate is ALWAYS a winner!
Big shout out to Silvia and Llewellyn who have become followers of the blog.
Where are the rest of the class I wonder?
Anyway, back to work. Again, there are some disruptions to lessons with all this blooming physical stuff. We're up against athletics: field and track events, plus Peer Mediation Training so we're covering only a couple of topics this week:
  • Completing Media, Process & Techniques ( check back to week 2 for hyper links). Also check out this site about the history of colour.
  • Checking our biblical knowledge - who's who in the Old and New Testament and how to spot them in a work of Art, (or in Hello! magazine)
  • Background to the topic - where on a map is Italy? Why should we care about Constantinople and which supermarket aisle will I find it in?
  • Early Renaissance embarking on a journey towards understanding the context of this period. I've called this topic: Disease, Misery, Politics, the Church, Religion & War. Not exactly a bundle of laughs, but at least the Art will be the light at the end of this very grim tunnel.
On a Housekeeping note, there have been a couple of minor changes to the 2010 Academic Planner. Internal Achievement Standard 3.4 begins Term 2 Week 1 and is due 10.05.10. Please make sure you have amended your planner accordingly. Have a great week.
