Trees

Trees

Tall proud

Pitching swinging dancing,

In the wind

Endlessly

 

I wanted to write a poem about nature, and I looked out the window and saw the trees moving in the win so I wrote a poem about trees. It is a cinquain. That means that it has a noun on the first line, two adjectives on the second, three ¨Ing¨ words on the third. a short phrase on the fourth, and then one word that sums up the noun. I would definitely say that line breaks are a big part of this. There is also a little rhythm. I liked the way this turned out and I think it has a really nice flow. I think that I used good descriptive words and gives it a nice picture. This is one of my favorite poems that I wrote.

The Year Throughout

The Year Throughout

 

Red leaves, falling leaves,

Raining more leaves, Yellow leaves,

Brown leaves, goodbye leaves.

 

Snow, Ice, Sleet, Frost, Hail,

Laid out like a huge sno-cone.

“Huh” Here comes the sun.

 

Rain pummels the ground

The street is paved once again

The flowers will bloom

 

Summer is ice cream

It’s sprinting out to short-stop

Summer is my life

This was a set of four Haikus and there was one for each season. There are a lot of poems about seasons, but I wanted one for all four in order, to show the flow of the year. A haiku is a poem about nature, that has 5 syllables on the first line, 7 on the second, and 5 again on the third. I would say that line breaks are a big part of my poem. There is also rhythm and repetition in the autumn one, repetition in the summer one, and imagery in the spring and winter ones. I really like the way it turned out, and I think it was a good idea for a set of 4 poems. I like how different all my poems are, and I also like the flow that it gives throughout the year.

Favorite Art Piece

Elijah Wire 1

This was my favorite art piece this year because I like doing things in 3-D. I loved working with wire and just shoving everything into place, and then being gentle with the small parts. I think that I came into it with an open mind which helped me because I could do a lot more. I loved this project.

Elijah Map Project 4

I would like to name this piece of art “The Globe Of NYC”. I created this work of art by blowing up a balloon and then paper mache-ing around it with a map of NYC. Then I popped the balloon and painted over the map with mod-podge. Then I painted NYC on it. One thing I learned while creating it was that you need a thick coat of paper mache so that the shell will stay hard. If I could change something I would try to add more of the actual map, not just words on the map. While making this, I was surprised that heat could pop a balloon and I was halfway done with the paper mache, so I had to insert a new balloon into that shell and that’s why it looks lopsided.
