HOMEWORK;

Leaders and leadership.

1)An effective leader is honest because if they werent then they wouldnt be doing their job right and also they would not be respected and in control because no one would trust them.

2)An effective leader has to show respect and intrest in their team/comunity so that they can get things done and be respaected as a good leader.

3)I am an effective leader when me and my group are comunicating because that way we will be going smoothly on the same page.\

The picture i chose was the one of the two weebills. That picture is just before the bear. Artist: Jane Seabrook

1)Jane seabrook is an artist that loves nature and wild life.

2)Janes paintings of wildlife inspired her to write her books and do the illistrations.

3)Jane mainly uses water colours in her art works.

4)Jane now makes a living of being a writter and an artist.

5)I like Janes art because she puts character into her art.

You can find Jane seabrooks art by typing in Jane Seabrook ito google.

How a camera takes a photo:

A camera has three parts to it: The lens, the film and the camers body. Lenses are curved pieces of glass or plastic. Lenses take the beams of light of an object and turn them into an image. The more curved the lens is the bigger the image will be. Proffesional cameras let you attach different lenses to see the object close up or far away. The film in the camera makes a chemical image of the pattern of light that it is exposed to. The body of the camera is a sealed box that prevents light from coming in. It contains a shutter that briefly opens and closes between the lens and film to let some light in to create the image on the film.

Name: Claude Monet.

Claude Monets style of painting is impressionist.

Claudes inspiration: Claudes inspiration came from what he saw around him especially nature. Other impressionists also inpspired him.

Claude met other artists and together they used the effects of light with broken colour and rapid brushstrokes which later became known as impressionism.

In 1845 Claudes father wnted him to go into the family grocery buissness but Claude wanted to be an artist. I like these peices of art work of the colours Claude uses for different effects and feelings he wants to get across.
