Welcome to New Zealand!

Kia ora readers,

Today we had our last CyberSmart lesson with Phil. For our task, we made a postcard to persuade people to come to this place. We could convince them to go anywhere, for instance, I make a postcard for someone and tell them to go to Italy. I would make a postcard for them that looks nice and has a nice view of Italy. That would persuade them to go to Italy, right?

Anyway, I made a postcard about how people should come to New Zealand. The embed of the photo and letter I wrote is below.

Guess what I used to make it? I think the answer is pretty obvious now. Canva! I use Canva for everything. I know this is like the billionth time I said it, but it's true! Canva is a site to make anything from videos to postcards! What do you think of the postcard?

Overseas viewers, this is for you. You should come to New Zealand and check out all the things we have! Whether you want to live in a city or the countryside, New Zealand is the place for you.

You made it to the end of my post! Thank you for taking the time to read my blog post. And thanks, Phil for, giving us such fun tasks to enjoy. Have a great day and, see you on the next blog! Ka kite!

My Digital Collage

 Welcome readers,

For our work on distance learning, we had to do a pretty fun task. It was called making a collage. A collage is when you stick together a bunch of objects and make it a new piece of artwork. Our teacher gave us the choice to do it either digitally, or physically. I chose digital. I decided to search up digital collages for some inspiration and I took lots of inspiration. I didn't copy though. I think it turned out pretty well. 

The reason collages are so fun to make is because there are actually no rules to making a collage. unlike other pieces of art, they sometimes have these rules. Collages don't have any rules. In fact, breaking the rules is what makes them look more interesting to look at. You can let your imagination run wild, and it's pretty fun!

It's also a pretty old piece of art, but it's a new type of art. Do you get me? No? What I mean is, some of the earliest collages date back to 200 BC, but then became an official type of artwork in about the 1900s. I'll give you an example. The collage below is what I made. 

Do you see what I mean now? It's like an abstract piece of art. I think it stands out and the colours pop and that's what makes it look nice. And guess what I used to make it? Canva! That's right, Canva isn't just useful for making posters, you can also make digital collages, brochures, flyers, infographics, and waay more than that! I would be here for days if I told you all of the capabilities of Canva! What do you think of the collage?

You made it to the end! Thanks for taking the time to read my blog post, Have an excellent day and see you on the next blog!

P.S: Thank you all for 1,000 views! I never thought I would get to that milestone! And here I am at 1,000 views on my blog. Thank you reader, I couldn't have done it without you. Goodbye!

Canva Poster(s)

Day 84 in lockdown. Blog 5 in November.

Hola readers,

For Distance learning we had to make another poster about what our superpower is as a friend. If you don't know what I mean, I'm talking about what you are good at doing as a friend. Like, making them not feel lonely, or cheer them up or something. What do you think your superpower is? For me, my superpower is cheering people up when the feel sad of feel down. The poster below is the one I created.

   

I also created this poster on Canva. (Look at the title!) Do you think it looks nice? This time, I didn't just find a template and use it, I created it myself! Though it may not be much, I think it looks really nice and I'm proud of my own poster. I really recommend Canva if you want to make a poster or something. I actually created 3 different designs because I just couldn't pick which one looks the best! Which one do you think looks best?

Kindness is like dropping a stone into water. When you drop the stone, ripples form. And those ripples are the changes you made to the world. The bigger the stone, the bigger the change. Sometimes when your change is so big, it can become a wave, not a ripple.

It seems you have made it to the end...Thank you for taking your time reading my blog and as always, have a great day!
