Henri Rousseau
Good afternoon everybody i hope you all are doing well. Today i'm going to be talking about what i did in Art for .
In our art my class watched a video called the the fantastic jungles of Henri Rousseau,it was about a man called Henri Rousseau who loved painting he was a self taught artist who couldn't afford art lessons.
He painted jungles,animals and nature even though he had never been to a jungle. No one ever told him he was talented before he started painting.He collected ideas from around the city for his new paintings.One day Henry read about a big art exhibition,he takes his art to the art exhibition and presents it to experts. Henry went to the art exhibition to present his art and every time the art experts made fun of him saying that it looks like he closed his eyes and painted with his feet.He got used to peoples nasty comments,he knew his art was simpler and flatter and he found that lovely. Henry spend all he earned on art supplies.He also gave music lessons in the afternoon.For weeks he fixed his painting when he finished he took it to the art exhibition many experts make fun of him and some disagreed.His paintings now hangs in museums all around the world.
After watching the video we draw drawing similar to Henri Rousseau.It was fun!!

Diary of a wild boy
Hello everyone today I read Diary of a wild boy and I am going to write some information of the book on this blog.
Brando walked around coastline of New Zealand to turn his life around in a good way. His life just wasn't moving from where it was.
For his journey he carried his map, tent, knife, backpack and a phone for keeping track of his journey.
His journey around the New Zealand coastline was about 600 days long. He also took small breaks at night for resting and sleeping.
In his journey he ate bacon, seafood and bread.
One of the challenges he faced was when he was standing on the edge of a cliff. There was only one way down which was going back the way he came from, but it was getting darker and then the rain came and branches hit his body and poked his eyes, he was cold and hungry.
One of his favourite parts of his walk was when he felt like an early explorer, when he stopped by the Kahurangi coast.
When he reached the Canterbury coast he said that it was one giant cliff and he was walking along the bottom of it. After a few days he found a sheep that had fallen onto the beach. He fed her grass that she coudn´t reach.
In the end the trip teaches Brando that life is better with someone than alone. If he wants to change his life he has time and that he can.
