festival of the arts week 3

week 3 we started the slide show. we added more photos and started to edit them. we made some look cool and some look old. we were trying to make them look like the photos had been taken ages ago.

Science festival of the arts

In science, I have been doing autochrome, well been trying. Autochrome is something they used to colour photos.

Results-

This is the film paper when the murky water was added. It was like a filter. all the water went through and all the starch ended up on the paper.

\

this is the food dye in the water after I added it on to the paper.
 

this is the top view of what it looked like. It had different types of blue in it which made it look really cool.











discussion-  when I put the starch in the water it went murky. I had to wait 15 minutes. when the fifteen minutes were up I grabbed some filter paper and slowly separated the starch from the water. when the process is done you have to wait till it drys. once it is dry you can grab some colours (red and blue) and put it on the starch but just a drop not too much.

festival of the arts week 2

Today my group took photos of things. I wasn't here for this as I was filming my brother's movie. This is Mollys shoes being way too big for her feet but they still fit.

triassic and jurrasic

Where does New Zealand fit into the theory of continental drift?

why does NZ not have and crocodiles?
because they were only starting to evolve
why is NZ's only mammal a  bat?
cause we moved to Australia when the animals were still coming in.

evidence of woolly mammoths in NZ? explain why

because it was way too cold for the mammoths

wetas and tuataras are living fossil. what does this mean? suggest why we have these creatures but Australia does not.  

Festival of the arts

In photography (my class for the festival of the arts). we had to take photos of things that started with the alphabet letters. for example, Take  C we take a photo of me. this is what we got told.                  Your task is to photograph something beginning with each letter of the alphabet. Place the picture in the box on this sheet. One point for each letter. Bonus points extra if you find a picture that makes the shape of a letter ( a picture that is an X or a W or and L or any other letter).

Here are mine and mollys -

Science Festival Of The Arts

Festival Of The Arts

Aim- I want to learn how to make a pinhole camera. I also want to learn how cameras work and how they came about. I want to research how photographs came about.

Questions- 

• I want to research how photographs were discover
• I want to investigate how to make an auto-chrome photo.

Research

autochrome
To create the Autochrome colour filter mosaic, a thin glass plate was first coated with a transparent adhesive layer. the dyed starch grains were graded to 5 and 10 micrometres in size and the three colours were thoroughly intermingled in proportions which made the mixture appear grey to the unaided eye.
