My Inquiry piskel

My Piskel

Our Inquiry focus this term is the power of taking action and a choice of art. We have to choose a style of art. Our choices were Pointillism, Papier-mâché, Doodle Art and Collage. I chose to do Pointillism, which is a type of art that you make with dots. The bad thing in the world that I am doing my art on is Deforestation. My Piskel is a rough idea of what my art will look like. We are going to be selling our artwork in week 8 of the school term 4. If you like my Piskel please comment.

My Super Speech

In Writing, we have been working on our speeches. We got to choose our topic and I chose strange laws because I think that it is an original speech idea. I had to research my speech a lot because I didn't know many weird rules from around the world. From the laws in this speech Germany has the most with 2 that I included. Please comment if you like it or give me feedback.
