Screen printing-Textiles

 In textiles we were doing screen printing, we drew a design on paper, I chose the Nirvana logo, then we cut it out using a craft knife. Once that was done we used a screen, textiles paint, and a squeegee, then pulled the paint on the screen using the squeegee to create our design.

Live Aid 

In the 1970s Bob Geldolf was the lead singer of the Boomtown rats.  He became famous for their song ' I don't like Mondays, which was a song about a school shooting. Bob Geldolf was involved in promoting charitable events for the developing world and more specifically Africa.   

Midge Ure was a Scottish singer involved in multiple bands.  He was famous for being the frontman for Ultravox and the song he and Bob Geldolf co-wrote the song called ' Do they know its Christmas' Midge Ure was involved in organizing and forming the benefit concert, Live Aid 1985.

Do They Know It's Christmas

Bob Geldolf wrote the song ' do they know it's Christmas' because the kids in Ethiopia didn't get to experience Christmas, so they wrote about how they don't know what/how people in other environments experience Christmas.

Micheal Mew

 

In art we have been looking at an artist called Micheal Mew, he does work with lots of different images combined to make leading lines and to have a focal point. Leading lines are exactly that, the lines that lead you to the main image, and the focal point is the main image. This is an example of his work.

For our own work, we had to take magazine images and combine them then add some drawings and paint over them, I have added my thumbnail sketches and my final product.

Acid Rain Experiment

Acid Rain Experiment 

What is acid rain? Acid rain is when the air gets so polluted with fossil fuels it gets absorbed by the clouds and comes out in an acidic form when it rains, it is environmentally harmful.

Aim: To observe effects of acid rain

Hypothesis: Petal- dry out calcium carbonate- become liquid apple-dry out, universal indicator- get dark bromothymol blue- lighten. 

Method: In a petri dish place items around weigh boat which is in the middle of the dish, wet-dry ingredients with a drop of water.  Add a spatula of sulfate to weigh boat, add 5 drops of sulfuric acid. quickly close. 

observation: bromothymol blue is turning yellow/orange, the universal indicator is turning pink, the petal is getting slightly lighter. I think it's because acid eats way at things so it diluted the colour.
