SLJ (W6/A50): Kick Start Gliding Time

 LI: To create a design or rough sketch of the glider I created. 


The above design is the sixth task for this week of the Summer Learning Journey that I have completed today. For this Kick Start activity I started by watching the introduction video that explained the challenge, which was to create a rough sketch of the glider and label the important parts as well. When I was doing the task I found drawing on the paper much more easier and detailed rather doing it on the chromebook. Some parts that I have labelled are fore, nose, leading edge, trailing edge, chord, starboard, salmon, port, fuselage, tail and aft. I also liked researching the roles of each parts in the glider and came to know that each part is as important as the other. This task was very knowledgeable for me because I came to know more about gliders and I am looking forward to do the second part of the activity as well.

SLJ (W6/A49): Step it up Pixel Art

 LI: To create my own pixel tree animation.


The above screencastify is the fifth task for this week of the Summer Learning Journey that I have completed today. For this Step it up activity we were challenged to create an animation using piskelapp which showcases a christmas tree. I think we couldn't have found any other site as this was the most convenient one for many reasons and some of them are that we can see the preview side by side, it has many tools which make the work easier and we can copy and paste the slides instead of making the whole thing again. After I completed the task I downloaded it but, faced trouble uploading the video thus I decided to make a screencastify instead. I loved completing this task because I came to know more about pixels side by side. Something I found interesting was that a pixel is the smallest element in an all points of the device. I am looking forward to do other Summer Learning Journey Tasks as well. 

SLJ (W6/A49): Kick Start Pixel Art

 LI: To create my own summer pixel art image.


The above artwork is the fifth task for this week of the Summer Learning Journey that I have completed today. For this Kick Start activity I started by watching the introduction video that explained the challenge, which was to use pixel art maker and create a piece of art that represents summer. When I think about summer many things come in my mind including the beach, sun, clothes, swimming, and ofcourse food. I tried most of them and I found the above drawing the most perfect out of them. Before doing this task I didn't know about the site and I am glad to work on it because it is amazing because it make the drawing easier and much more better. I came to know many knowledgeable facts and one of them is that pixel is a minute area of illumination on a display screen and are reason why we can see images. I loved completing this task and I am looking forward to fo the second part of this activity as well. 

SLJ (W6/A48): Step it up Mondrian

 LI: To find maths (fractions and area) in the piece of art you created.


The above google draw is the fourth task for this week of the Summer Learning Journey that I have completed today. For this Step it up activity we were challenged to find the maths including the area and fraction of each color in the art we created. Area can be defined as the space occupied by a flat shape whereas a fraction can be defined as the part of a whole and not exactly a whole number. It was very creative to add maths in art and that is the reason why I loved doing this activity the most. I also liked the fact that these activities prevent me from forgetting my math strategies in these holidays. I loved completing this task and I am looking forward to do other Summer Learning Journey Tasks as well.

SLJ (W6/A48): Kick Start Mondrian

 LI: To create a Mondrian Art using google spreadsheet.


The above artwork is the fourth task for this week of the Summer Learning Journey that I have completed today. For this Kick Start activity I started by watching the introduction video that explained the challenge, which was to create a Mondrian Art. This type of art was created by Piet Mondrian and was named after it. He was an important leader in the development of modern abstract art during the Dutch art movement. This activity improved my creativity skills in art but at the same time I came to learn some interesting facts about the history of arts. Something that I found amusing was that the creator of this beautiful modern art was inspired by Pablo Picasso and got the idea of Cubism from him only. I loved completing this activity and I am looking forward to do the second part of this task as well. 

SLJ (W6/A47): Step it up Soundtrack of Summer

 LI: To create a survey to find out about people’s top songs to celebrate summer 


The above survey is the third task for this week of the Summer Learning Journey that I have completed today. For this Step it up activity we were challenged to create a questionnaire that would be answered by the readers of my blog. A survey is basically a general view, examination, or description a certain topic. I made sure that I ask both open ended and close ended questions as I wanted to know what your answers would be freestyle and what would be within the options as well. I love creating and doing survey because I come to know about each others opinions and interests. After I made the survey I asked my family and friends to fill it and I would like if you fill it as well. This task was also amazing as I would be learning so much about others and I am looking forward to do other Summer Learning Journey blog posts as well.

SLJ (W6/A47): Kick Start Soundtrack of Summer

 LI: To create a playlist of the songs that people could sing together to celebrate summer. 


The above screencastify is the third task for this week of the Summer Learning Journey that I have completed today. For this Step it up activity I started by watching the introduction video that explained the challenge, which was to create a playlist of songs you often listen and enjoy singing with your family. My playlist always contain Kpop or Korean Pop music and that is why my brother and cousins also listen to them. The thing I like the most about these songs is that they are not just of one genre and makes me feel several feelings at one time. One more thing is that they don't just sing but dance as well. My favourite band amongst all of them is BTS, Bangtan Sonyeondan or Bulletproof Boy Scouts and I spend most of the day listening to their music. I often play their music on Spotify and do my work side by side. 

For this activity, instead of just adding the songs I decided to play the main part or a short clip and show it in the screencastify. Most of the music that I have listed above are related to summer, but the rest are one of my favourite songs. The music bands who sang them were Red Velvet, TXT, Blackpink and BTS. I also turned the subtitles on, as some part of the lyrics are in Korean and I guess it would be a little more helpful. This activity was my favourite out of all the Summer Learning Journey Tasks because I could share my interest in music with my readers. I am looking forward to the second part of this activity as well.
