Astria - Extension Task

Today, in extension, we were given the opportunity to play a new game called, Astria. It is based all around Critical Thinking. 

“Students don’t learn much playing this game called Astria – Countdown to Impact: Their time could be better spent doing other things”.

Do you agree, disagree or partly agree/disagree?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From my own perspective, I partly agree/disagree. I agree that you aren't exactly learning much while playing this particular game, but at the same time I disagree because you are still at least learning something important. This game tests you on your critical thinking, which is something like judgment. But in this game, it is important to know how to judge the documents you are given. Wether they are useless, or wether they could be of use.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On a scale of 1-5, how successfully did you problem solve with your partner today?

Please include any ways you would collaborate differently with them next time you play.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Partner (Sheales) and I worked together quite well actually. We took turns at reading the documents and advice given in the game, we took turns at judging the documents and we got quite far in the game but weren't given enough time to finish. Next week, we will be given the opportunity to finally finish the game, and hopefully learn more from it. Sheales and I work good together and nothing needs to be changed or improved.

3 Elements of Art - Lady Pink

There are many different elements of art. Our task today was to choose a famous artist and explain 3 of the many elements of art, that they have used in one of their works. I have decided to explain one of the works of, Lady Pink. She uses majority of the elements to share her messages in her art, with the public.

Color is one of the many elements that makes Pink's work stand out compared to others. Her artwork is completely based around, Graffiti. She uses many different colors to express her love for graffiti and to spread her main message around Women's Rights. Lady Pink can get very very creative with her colors. 

Pink also uses the element of shape to express her passion for Graffiti. The different amounts of shape shows what is on her mind, while she draws and paints, which eventually turns into a big piece of art known as a, "Mural." Different shapes are used to make different murals which expresses her passion and love for the art. 

Last but not least comes the element of, Line. Lines are marks which are made by a drawing tool to create a piece of art.  As you can see in many artists works, they use a lot of lines to show their meaning behind their works. Pink uses a lot of different lines such as, curvy, horizontal and vertical as well as diagonal. 

So, to make it clear, Color is the element that reflects light off of a variety of objects. There are 3 main characteristics to do with color. Which are, hue (Main property of the colors), value (How light or dark it is) and intensity (How bright or dull it is). 

Shape is a closed in line. They can be geometric like squares, circles or triangles. Shapes can also be organic like free-form or natural. 

And Line is a mark which is made by a specific drawing tool. They can be, long or short, horizontal or vertical, curvy or straight or even thick or thin.
