Raven report

Today I was learning how to write a report about the Raven. The report was a bit hard to write because i couldn't really type that fast. I was also learning to extend my ideas by using examples, presiece adjectives, similes, and cause and effect. I think i did pretty good writing a report. I enjoyed using examples in my report writing. I also enjoyed changing the font so it would look nice and aesthetic. I think I did well on that too.

I found it challenging to type fast, as i mentioned in the first paragraph. I also found it hard to kinda spell words, but luckily, if it weren't for the spelling and grammar check in google docs, I wouldn't be able to spell. Next time I would maybe add a picture of the raven so the reader would know what animal i'm talking about.

Marvelous Mosaics!

Today i was making my own mosaic. We were  making the mosaics for the art exhibition. An art exhibition is a place where you can buy other people's art, and other people can buy your art! 

The cross represents Mary Mackillop and how she served for God! I used some blue stones for a nice border. I chose a black background so the bright colors would stand out. 

I enjoyed smearing the grout over my tiles, then wiping off the dried up grout. The grout felt like sand mixed with water, but white!

I found it difficult to glue on the tile pieces ( it was VERY messy!) I used liquid nails to glue on the tile pieces, but the liquid nails kept getting stuck to my skin. 

Making the mosaics started making me liking to sometimes not be clean! Sometimes it's is okay to be messy! Being messy can open your eyes to a whole lot of other ways you can do art! Have you ever made a mosaic before? Have you ever been messy while doing art? If so, please tell me in the comments! ( by the way, here is the finished product!)
