Filming Zombies
These are the people that have zombie makeup on. They are in the filming group. They had to attack the people who were not zombies and turn them into zombies. All these people have roles as zombies in a short movie about bullying. They had to rehearse quite a lot of times for the scenes. The messages in this movie are based on STOP BULLYING. Everyone who saw us got scared.

Show Me Shorts with Richard
Richard from "Show Me Shorts" visited Room 18. He shared two very short films. The titles were "Just Like the Others" and "One Shoe Short." We had an interesting time talking about the films and all the messages in them. Everyone had to make inferences based on what they saw. There were some VERY observant children in Room 18 who had amazing ideas and questions. Well done everyone!!

Comments about our Georgia O'Keeffe work
I chose this picture because it looked unique and easy. It was harder than it looks. As I was doing my art work I felt like a famous artist. I thought how Georgia O'Keeffe blended her charcoal. That's what made it really hard. I also felt like a kid when I was smudging the charcoal. When I was doing my art work the best thing I liked was smudging the charcoal. I think my art result was pretty awesome.
I thought like an artist. I thought slow and gentle like a butterfly. I felt love in my art. The charcoal was very hard to use. It was cool to do the dark bits and I liked the smudging part, it was cool. I have a talent for art.
I thought of doing art like Georgia O'Keeffe. Doing her charcoal work would help me become good at using charcoal and giving me a good result. I enjoyed doing art like Georgia O'Keeffe. The one I copied looks like a koru. I chose that art because lots of lines come together. I thought I would get a better finish. I really like how some of the corners are shaded in they look like some sort of side ways triangle.
I thought it was fun doing art. I felt like an artist. I thought doing the art work with charcoal was a bit hard though. It thought my end result was pretty good even if it was hard drawing it. For me the fun bit was shading in the mountains because it really fitted in with the boulders. I chose the mountains and river one because it looked like a challenge.
