Animation

LI: to create an animation

One of the oldest surviving pieces of Japanese animation may be a nameless, dateless, approximately 3-second film known as “Katsudo Shashin“ (literally “Action Photo“). It simply features a boy writing the words 活動写真 katsudo shashin and then doffing his cap.

Our challenge today was to use our animation skills to create our own 3 second ‘action photo’ using our own manga character.

I enjoyed this because I got to experiment with different colours and animes to choose from.

History of Manga

For Reading we were learning about Anime and Manga, using this topic to improve our comprehension skills. Manga, is known as a Japanese Comic. It has widely spread throughout the world, and is a very popular trend. Manga and Anime have become a big part of Japanese Culture. There are Manga and Anime such as One Piece, Naruto, Dragon Ball that have taken over the world. Our task was to make a DLO (Digital Learning Object) about the History of Manga, describing the origin and what it is?

Customised Shoes

The challenge we were set for today was to skim and scam an article about Rangi-Haira Jaxon and his passion for customizing shoes. Rangi-Haira Jaxon designs shoes and sneakers, and was inspired by Maori culture and a documentary called 'Just For Kicks'.

Something I found interesting was that his sneakers are sold world-wide, including countries like Japan, the United States, Sweden and Australia. I enjoyed this task because I had the opportunity to expand my knowledge of Rangi-Haira Jaxon and his passion for customizing shoes.

Artwork

For our Reading we were learning about artwork, using different art tools and using shapes to create pieces of artwork. The artwork I had recreated was "Cafe Terrace". It was fun doing as I got to recreate it with tools on Google Drawing, being able to trace certain parts as well as create other parts with the shapes available on the app. It was fun doing, as we got to use other colouring tools such as Coolour.
