In room one we have been learning about spiritual places and we had to choose a place from a list, so I chose the Dead Sea. I hope you enjoy please leave a Positive, Thoughtful and Helpful comment!

The Dead Sea.

Why is it called the Dead Sea?
Because of the seas high salt quantities that stop microscopic aquatic organisms such as fish and marine plants. 

It is nearly impossible to swim in the Dead Sea.
Most people float on the surface of the water because of the high salt capacity of the water 
A half-hour drive from Jerusalem, the Dead Sea is actually a large lake. 48 miles long and 11 miles across.
It is the lowest spot on earth, 1290 feet below sea level it is also the saltiest body of water in the world. At the Dead Sea you are likely to feel more energised because of the higher concentrated oxygen levels. Recently, the Dead Sea has been reduced in size by approximately 700 million cubic meters.

The Dead Sea is also connected to the Jordan river which is a baptismal site. The Dead Sea is a place where many people go, one of the reasons people go to the Dead Sea is because of the rumoured healing properties for example the black mud which said to heal skin diseases, maladies and arthritis.

This is my drawing of the dead sea that i made on google drawings

On Saturday the 19th of October, my mother, my father, my brother and I all went to a small gallery with my brothers girlfriend Meg to see a beautiful piece of art that Don (megs dad) had made out of a gorgeous light brown timber. It was a 3D mandala like wall-hanging to raise money for Kileys cancer medication.

Kiley is a mother of two Oli a 14 year old and Meg a 20 year old. Kiley was diagnosed with stage 4 incurable breast cancer in September 2017, her cancer has recently spread to her kidneys, lungs and liver. Don and Kiley divorced, and since, Kiley has gotten married to a man named Johnny they can not afford the medication that Kiley needs. (Her medication is $7,000 a month $84,000 a year.)

So Don has kindly made this art piece to raise money for her medication the bidding price started $2,500,
There was also a go fund me page made for Kiley within the first hour she had raised $2,700+ and continued to grow, this brought what felt like a huge wave of smiles to Kileys friends & family. It was as beautiful as a fresh bouquet of flowers, the gallery was made up of extremely supportive new Zealand artists, I am so glad that I was able to attend this art bidding.

Paragraph 1
This is a short piece of writing about art. When you are drawing you need to find ideas, otherwise you can end up with a scribble you are not proud of. When I draw I usually find a reference picture of what I would like to draw, but I change it into my own style. When drawing with a reference try to change the picture so it is more like your own.  One really helpful piece of advice I have had was to sketch out what my Ideas are really lightly and rough (this is so when you start building more muscle onto your character you have an idea on the pose, shape and identity of your character). If you post your art online please credit the person you referenced.






Paragraph 2
There are a lot of different types of art supplies like paint, pencils, fine liners, felts and so much more… but what is the difference other than the price? Well, while the price is the most obvious difference, a lot of supplies have various uses e.g. oil paints (these are more often used for painting on canvases or blending because they dry much slower, so it is easier to blend), while acrylics dry much faster, so it is a quicker way to layer paints, but much more aggravating (time consuming and annoying) in the blending process.


Paragraph 3

When we do art, the main thing people think about is colour. You could have just black, white and grey, or you might have pink, blue and purple, either way part of our brain might be thinking about this during our drawing process. Most colours look great together, but some can be too much like ̈ highlighter ̈  colours (these are the colours that you would usually find in a pack of highlighters). Many people say that ̈ these colours should not be used ̈ , because sometimes they can hurt your eyes. If you match them with more dull and pale colours then they just look like a small flare of bright colour, and can look very beautiful.


Thank you for reading my paragraphs on art, I hope you learnt something and enjoyed it.
