Starry Starry Night

What do you think starry starry night by Van gogh is worth? Well it is worth 140million dollars . It was painted in 1889 in France

When I looked at Vincent’s very famous piece I thought I was there . It ls so realistic because it seems as if it’s moving.The brush strokes on the painting are bold which gives it a nice flow.


In the sky there is a beautiful koru like pattern. I stared at the koru I realised that there wasn't only on colour there was many others. But when I paint I normally use one main colour.e picture


The two things that even out the painting are the church steeple and the cypress tree.These balance each other out like the bright sky and the  gloomy village.

I sure wouldn't pay anything near 140million dollars even if I had that kind of money.

Compensation

This is My strategy called Compensation.

Swimming Is Awesome

“Woo Hoo Were going swimming get you togs everybody” I shouted . I was soo excited that I just wanted to sprint down the street.But unfortunately we had to be sensible and walk.


Entering the pools the smell of chlorine hit my nose faster than a bullet . We ran to the changing room got changed and we were out in a zoom.


Our first activity was a test to tell what group we were in.I got put in group 3 which is the highest one.jumping into the pool I was so pleased.


My favorite thing about that day was getting to know that I was in the highest group.Most of the people in that group were girls but me and my friend wyatt were the only boys.


The next day was all about kicking and breathing . Guess what I swam 3 quarters of the big pool without breathing. I think I was the best at holding my breath.


I like swimming because I always come out happy. Next time I am going to try swim the whole pool without breathing.

Sunflowers By Vincent Van Gough

Do you have enough money to buy vincent van gogh most well known painting ? Probably not unless you 50 million dollars to spare. This painting is called sunflowers it is 73 x 92 centimeters big and from tip to toe was made with oil paint  it was painted in 1888.


This painting was soo thick and textured he had to give up food to buy enough pain for it .Sometimes he didn't even use a paint brush he used a knife. If you had a chance to touch his painting it would feel like a pile of rocks.


Most people think that he was happy when he painted this.The yellow on his painting represents happiness. His main color is yellow when he first started painting he used dark colors.

When I look at his painting I think that it cheers people up.But if you look closer you will see that some of the flowers are dead.But a lot have just grown some are even old.


When he was painting it I think that he was always thinking about his friend Paul Gauguin and what his room would look like.He wanted his paintings to impress his friend.


If I was Van Gogh and was still alive I would have a mansion and all the latest stuff.

Rock-Climbing

What did you do in your holidays ? Well I went to my cousins birthday to celebrate 2920 days of his life. He suggested I go Rock-Climbing with two of his friends.

Arriving In the car park we noticed that all the parks were full and that we had to park on the road. I jumped out and stretched and said “YAY” .I trotted towards the huge building that said Rock Climbing, I was looking forward to this.

Entering through these huge doors I was stunned to see  the structures that people climb, and some of them go upside down. I went to the counter, strapped  on my harness and sprinted to the wall. They hooked me up and I was off.


Touching the top of the wall I shouted “hooray” and as slow as a snail I let go and slid back down. Touching the ground I rubbed it in my cousin's face but when he tried he did it just as fast as me.

“Ok its time for dinner” My aunty shouted we raced to the bathroom washed our hands.Guess how many pizzas my uncle ordered ? Eight whole pizzas for nine people that's nearly 1 pizza each.


We packed up and went back home with one pizza each. I hope he invites me to his ninth birthday.
