Pablo Picaso

The name of my piece of artwork is called 'Age before Beauty'. If you look at it closely, one side is an old lady and the other is a young and beautiful woman. The person that inspired my artwork was Pablo Piccaso because of his unique way of drawing.

Reading

In reading, my story is about the Wind Woman. The main points behind this story, is to explain where the wind comes from. This story is about a woman who casts wind, North, South, East and West. The 'Wind Woman' only comes every ten thousand years. Each time she comes, she will do the same routine, from early morning, to late night. I enjoyed this story because, the story had many facts about this, particular subject. I would recommend this story to those who like to read Myths and Legends.

Writing

In my writing, I am writing a picture book. My picture book is about a new girl, Khylah Baulunt , who goes to school and makes a new friend, Louise Albercott. They both turn into best friends and has fun on the first day of school. Something I enjoyed about writing this piece, was making up the story of it. The picture book was based on a true story. So it gave me a clear picture of what I was going to write about.

We thank you for all the many great and wonderful creations. We thank you for blessing us with food, money, shelter and clothing that we have. We ask you to bless my friends and family and the teachers and students of St. Mary's. We ask you to bless the less fortunate, that they may have hope that they will have the things that we have one day. We ask you to forgive our sins and help us to make the right choices and decisions.

 Amen.
