Summer Learning Journey | Activity:2 | Week:4 | En Pointe | (4 Points)

Most successful ballerinas start learning ballet when they are very young - 3 or 4 years old.
World famous ballerina, Misty Copeland, wasn’t like most other girls. Instead of starting at age 3,
she started ballet lessons at age 13!

By 14, Misty had won a national competition for ballet dancers. She continued to work very
hard and, in 2015, she became the first African Amercian principal (lead) dancer of the Amercian
Ballet Theatre - this is amazing because there were, and still are, very few African American
ballet dancers in the country. When interviewed, Misty has said that she would like people to be
able to “see dreams through me”. This is an example of an inspirational quote. Please click on
this link to read more inspirational quotes.

Summer Learning Journey | Day:5 | Dancing Queens | Activity:1 | Week:4 | The World of Hip Hop | (4 Points)

Parris Goebel has taken over the world of dance! You might already have heard of her as she
is pretty famous in New Zealand and around the world.

Parris was born in Manurewa, South Auckland, and she is of Samoan/Chinese/Scottish
descent. Parris loved dancing when she was very little and she began hip-hop lessons when
she was 10. By the age of 15 she was so good that she started her own all-girl dance crew
called ReQuest, and they went on to win several first places at the World Hip-Hop
Championships.

Parris later started The Palace Dance Studio in Auckland, and formed five more dance crews
that won competitions worldwide. She has also worked as a choreographer for famous
musicians like Justin Beiber, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, and Janet Jackson. In 2019, Parris and
her new dance crew, The Royal Family, won the World Hip Hop Dance Championship.

______________________________

What To Do:For this activity, watch this video of their award winning performance. What do you
like about the performance? What did the dance crew do well? What could they work on?

On your blog, write a review of The Royal Family performance. Please talk about the dance,
dancers, costumes, and the music. What did you like? What didn’t you like as much? What do
you think could have been improved?

_________________________________________________________________________________

My Work⬇️

Dancing: I really did enjoy the dancing because they all had great dance moves! But my
favourite part about them when they were dancing was when they chucked the person up in the
air and caught them.

Costumes:To be honest the costumes were amazing because they were all wearing the same
and when they were dancing it was fantastic 

Music: They music was great because it all went together with their amazing dance! 

What I like about their performance: I really liked how they put a lot of effort for the
costumes,music and dancing and I gotta say the whole video was amazing!

Summer Learning Journey | Activity:3 | Week:4 | Top Secret Street Art | (6 Points)

My Work^^^

Click for a better view^^^

“Banksy” is an influential artist from England. He is very private and secretive. In fact, almost no
one knows who he really is - he always creates his art in secret! Banksy often uses stencils to
create his street art.

Street art, or graffiti art, is all around us. Sometimes the art tells a story, sometimes it makes a
building look more interesting, and sometimes it makes us think hard about something.
In 2011, the city of Christchurch experienced a huge earthquake. A lot of the central city
buildings fell down. It takes a long time to rebuild a city, and there are areas of Christchurch
where buildings are still damaged and/or need to be rebuilt. Street artists in Christchurch have
seen this as a chance to create artwork that helps to make the city beautiful again. You can see
lots of amazing street art in Christchurch at the moment! Here is a site that shows you where to
find it.

_______________________

What To Do:For this activity, take a look at the Christchurch street art website and choose two
different pieces of artwork. Look carefully at both pieces of art, and identify similarities and
differences between the two.

On your blog, post screenshots of the two different pieces of art that you have chosen. Below
the pictures tell us about the similarities and differences that you see in the two pieces of
street art.

Summer Learning Journey | Activity:2 | Week:4 | Try Your Own Tapa | (4 Points)

Fatu Feu’u is a Samoan artist who lives in Aotearoa/New Zealand. He is mostly known for being
a painter but he also creates sculptures, pottery, prints and glass works.

As an artist, Fatu Feu’u is primarily influenced by tapa cloth (siapo) patterns from Samoa, as
well as tatau (tattoo), weaving, carving, and mask designs.

Many Pacific Islands have their own versions of tapa cloth. In Tonga it is called the ngatu, in
Fiji - the masi, in Niue - the hiapo, in the Cook Islands - the tapa, and in Hawaii - the kapa.
You can learn more about tapa cloth here.

_______________________________

What To Do:For this activity please create your own tapa cloth design. You can draw your
design on paper or using a drawing app such as Google Draw.

On your blog, post an image (photo or screenshot) or your tapa design and describe what each
part of your picture represents (means).

_________________________________________________________________________________
My Work⬇️

This is a Tongan map (Fala in Tongan name) anyways, what this means is that this is
representing kind and respect to people and the colours are a brownish color and kind
of a peach color which is very cool. Comment what you think you can see in this picture.

Summer Learning Journey | Day:4 | Arty Designers | Activity:1 | Week:4 | Fashion Forward | (4 Points)

Coco Chanel was a French fashion designer from the early 1900s. She was very influential
because she designed clothes for women that were beautiful, but also comfortable and practical.
Before Coco came along, European women wore corsets which pulled in their waists, and
dresses that had lots of lace. Coco Chanel introduced a completely new style, influenced by
men’s fashion - trousers (pants), monochrome (black and white) fabric, and looser tops.

Twenty Seven Names is a contemporary (current) New Zealand fashion label that is also
influential. The founders of the company are two friends, Rachel Easting and Anjali Burnett.
Rachel and Anjali met when they were at primary school. When they left school, Anjali studied
fashion design and Rachel studied art, before they set up their own business designing and
making clothing. Where possible they employ young women and they keep as much of their
production (making) in New Zealand as possible.

_____________________

What To Do:For this activity, please read this article about where some famous New Zealand
brands got their names from. Brand names are very important to companies as this is how they
are known.

On your blog, tell us how Twenty Seven Names got their name. Looking at their clothing brand,
tell us whether you think this is a good name for them, or if they should change it to something
else!

_________________________________________________________________________________
My Work⬇️

How they got their name:After studying art and fashion respectively the pair began working on
small scale projects before launching their brand 'twenty-seven names'. The label name is a
homage to the list of 27 people who helped to get their label off the ground.

What I think about the name: I think there name is great they should leave it because it's smart
how they had made up the great name.

years old but he has already starred in a number of movies and TV commercials. You may have

My Work⬇️

I would love to join the 40 hour famine because I can raise money for charity and for
all the people around the world who are poor.  So I thought it was a great idea to raise
money for charity because they have no food and clothes or supplies. So I would l really want
to make them happy and be kind I would also raise the money for charity. I think joining the
40 hour famine is so kind and helpful to other people in needs, I really think that joining the
40 hour famine would be so AWESOME!
