Pablo Picasso Art - Cubism Final Drawing
Last moth we began our cubism portraits based on Pablo Picasso's cubism art. In cubism you can play around with lots of shapes. The facial features like your eyes, nose, mouth and ears can be in different shapes and places. We did two practice drawings before completing our final product. (You can read my blogs about them here Picasso #1 Picasso #2 ).
Something I noticed about my classmates art I think all of us split the faces gave different designs to theirs, some people moved their noses eyes mouth around and put them in different places.
Something I found interesting was some of my class mates they put one part of their mouth in one spot and the other in a different place. Something I found interesting was that Pablo Picasso changed his art over time.
Something I found difficult was drawing because i'm not the best drawer so I was struggling to draw. Some of my classmates one looks awesome because they did one side and the other was way different to their other side.
For this picture I wanted to focus on cubism and playing around with the shapes. I like cubism because you can play around with the shapes and move them around you can also move body parts.
Here Is My Final Picture!

Today at St Pius X we had a very special mass. This mass is special because we celebrated three important occasions for our school. They are, St Patrick's Day, Soul Friends and Ash Wednesday. As we journey in the fourth week of lent, today we honour St. Patrick who is the patron saint of the Irish people and The Holy Faith Sisters who started our school, more than sixty years ago, who were from Ireland. They brought with them the beautiful idea of Soul Friends.
In the early Irish Church people chose someone wise to be their soul friend. This friend is a person they can talk to and share their experiences in life. They seek his or her advice and share their joy and worries. They often prayed together. They Looked out for each other. They make commitment to do this yet live their own lives separately. We model this relationship in our school. It was introduced to us by the Holy Faith Sisters who started St. Pius X School more than sixty years ago. It is a beautiful relationship, where the older students look out for the younger ones and vice versa.
We had our ash Wednesday ashes today because we had lock down and we had it a second time but we went back to level one so we did it today.
St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland St. Patrick St. Patrick, for example, is the patron saint of Ireland because he is credited with bringing Christianity to the Irish people. In Roman Catholicism a person often elects a personal patron saint during their confirmation.

After our teacher demonstrated and we saw lots of examples it was our turn to draw.
Step 1: In pencil, draw your head, any shape will work. You can use a mirror or draw from your imagination.

International Women's Day
On the 8th of March was International Women's Day. In our class we did an activity to challenge the stereotypes and bias of both male and female roles within our society. We first had to get into same gender groups. We then wrote down the positives and challenges of the opposite gender. The boys wrote about the positives and challenges for females and the girls wrote about the positives and challenges of being male.
After we came up with some in ideas in our group we then joined our groups with opposite gender. Women had more challenges. For example women had lots of challenges around expectations of raising and looking after the family. On the other hand, males had more positives. For example me can play and get paid professionally for sport, get to sleep in and are fathers.
We also said that a challenge for a male is that they have to provide for the family and have to always be brave.
Something we learnt from this is males and females aren't considered equal in lots of aspects of life.
Here is our activity we did.
Can you add any more stereotypes to this
