The U.S.A had this theory that if one country fell into communist, we would all fall into communist. we were afraid that communist would spread all around the world.

I was inspired by, Improvisation 31 by Vassily Kandinsky. He painted Improvisation in 1931. It is know as the Sea Battle. I used tissue paper to make the bombing in the Boston marathon.
In 1948, Andrew Wyeth painted Christina’s World and was one of the best known American paintings. I was inspired by his painting to draw my own, Leonardo’s World. He’s my baby brother and i know that his world is just play, play, and more playing!
Guernica by Pablo Picaso, inspired me to crate a bid poster on what can and does happen when you bully others. It can happen to anyone! But this poster is mainly about girl to girl bullying, girls bully other girls because they’re not as skinny, or “pretty” as the popular. Self-harm is the most scariest, most dangerous thing that can happen, some can lead to suicide. Please lets all help stop bullying, if you see someone being bullied tell your teacher.
For math, my class and I celebrated Pi day on March 14 (3/14= 3.14). First our teacher read a short story, Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi, to us. Then we found the diameter, radius, and the circumference of different size circles. Circumference is the distance around the circle. Pi = 3.14, 22/7, or π. The diameter is a straight line passing from side to side through the circle. The radius is a line from the center to the side of the circle. The chord a stright line from side to side, however it never passes the center of the circle. To find the circumference of a circle you have to multiply the diameter and 3.14 or 22/7, but if you have the radius then you multiply the radius by 2 then multiply that by 3.14 or 22/7. If you are asked to give your answer in a fraction then you multiply your diameter by 22/7. If you are asked to give you answer in a decimal then you multipy your diameter by 3.14. Also if your asked to leave pi as π, then you put your diameter first, then π, then your units (example: 12πcm). Then for lunch we had Pi for dessert! 🙂

“Dreaming Out Loud” inspired me to do Shadow. “Dreaming Out Loud” is an example of graphic poetry, which is a combination of poetry, comics, and photography. The artist loved comics and photogrphy. “Dreaming Out Loud” is mostly assortment of his own photos. He started in 2005.
I was inspired by The Village by Marc Chagall, which was created in 1911. Chagall’s artwork was mainly surrealism and expression. For my painting, Day and Night, I used watercolors to paint my art piece. The trick for watercolors is if you want your color to be a little darker and less watery, then you would use less water and more of your color. In contrast, if you want a lighter color, you would dip your paintbrush into your color then into you water to make it less dark. 🙂
