Summer Learning Journey - Day 16 Activity 1

For this activity I had to imagine that I am visiting on the national holiday of the country I chose ( the country I chose was Mexico). I then had to tell what would I eat, see and do on that day.

If I visited Mexico on their national holiday I think I would like to try a Mexican dish called Enchilada. I would want to go and see the parades that day. I would like to participate in the folklore dancing.

Summer Learning Journey - Day 15 Activity 1

For this activity I had to imagine I walked into the local gallery, the first piece of artwork that you see is a painting by Wassily Kandinsky called ‘Swinging.’ While you are looking at it, a staff member at the gallery comes up to you and asks you for your opinion of the painting. On my blog I had to tell what I think of this painting and if I could buy it and give it to someone, who would I choose.

My Opinion : I think that this work of art is really creative and I like how the artist used different shapes to draw something. If I could buy this painting and give it someone I would give it to my sister because she like paintings.
