My holiday highlight

On the first day of my holidays It was awesome. My aunt and uncle rang over and said if I was allowed to stay over for the night. My mum said “emm I don’t know”. “Please” I said with joy and happiness. “Yes ok then” my mum said. I went over to see my aunt and uncle. I started playing the game once I got over there. It got kind of hot and I was hungry. I got out of the house and started running to the shops. I bought a pie and a drink that can cool me down and make me full.
The next morning I woke up and went straight on to the computer. It was getting boring.

In the afternoon I went on the trampoline to hop, bounce, jump, and to do backflips.

Van Gogh and Matisse

Sunflowers by Van Gogh La Musique by Matisse

Matisse and Van Gogh

In room 21 our teacher Mrs Lagitupu has set us a task to compare and contrast Henry Matisse and Van Gogh's paintings. Henry Matisse is famous for his art style Les Fauves or Fauvism (Wild Beast). And Van Gogh's art style is Expressionism, and thats what he's famous for. The two paintings that we had to compare were Matisses 'La Musique' and Van Goghs 'Sunflowers'.

What I notice about the sunflower painting is that it has only a few colours. It has lots of yellow and brownish colours. It looks like some flowers are facing down. Maybe some of the sunflowers are dead because they look tired and droopy. The flowers are sitting in a pot. The pot also has yellow and brownish colours like the flowers.

Something I notice about 'La Musique' is that the lady with the guitar is wearing blue clothes on. And that she is with someone beside her who is wearing a yellow brownish dress. Also on the painting it shows a very good background that stands out. The background has large green leaves. It looks like the lady is playing the guitar to the musical notes on the floor.

The sunflower is different to the 'La Musique' painting because the colour from the sunflower is mainly yellow and the 'La Musique painting has lots of contrasting colours.
