A SNEAK PREVIEW

Here is a 'sneak preview' of some scenes from
'Turtle Girl- No Rubbish Allowed'

Emily and Talia are busy working their way through the creation of their images of Turtle Girl and Rubbish Girl in ArtRage.


What do you think is happening in each picture?
What are the characters thinking?
Why are they behaving the way they are?
What could happen next?

You'll have to wait for the 'premiere'

to see what adventures and battles Turtle Girl gets up to.

VOICES OF THE WORLD NOVEMBER TASK

We are well on the way to completing November's task for the Voices of the World project.

This month's task is for everyone to sing 'Twinkle, Twinkle' in their own language, using a backing track that has been given to us.

We are creating images of 'stars' in PAINT, KID PIX and ARTRAGE to go with the song.

Our images and audio will be uploaded to One True Media to create a simple presentation.

We think the final slidecast will be 'sparkling'!

OUR STORYBOARDS ARE COMING TO LIFE....SLOWLY!

There is SO much planning involved in bringing our stories about our
SUPERHEROES to life.

We've had to look at each panel in our storyboard and decide how we are going to 'create' the picture or pictures for that panel.







We wrote our 'image notes' on the back of our storyboards.

For some panels, we might need to 'google' some images, like these ones for the GREENBAG MAN story.

Or we might need to 'act out' some of the scenes and take a picture.

Here's a picture for a story about not playing properly with the toys at lunchtime.

We've had to really use our IMAGINATIONS and think hard about 'poses' and camera angles...

like for the battle between GREENBAG MAN and PLASTIC MAN.

Many of us are going to use ARTRAGE to paint over or add to a picture.

Here you can see Rubbish Girl in prison and GREENBAG MAN flying.

It's amazing how an ordinary picture can be turned into something incredible!

PLAYING WITH NEW APPLICATIONS

Before we can start bringing our Superhero stories to life in Comic Life, we actually have to have some pictures!
So we have been 'playing' with two applications that will help us create great pictures.
They are PHOTOBOOTH and ART RAGE.
We've spent A LOT of time 'playing' with them.
That's how we've learnt what they can do and how to use them.

Our Macbooks have an inbuilt camera, so we can use PHOTOBOOTH to give our pictures 'special effects' like

comic book...

light tunnel....

and thermal camera.

There's heaps more effects. Taking pictures on PHOTOBOOTH is so much FUN!!

It's PERFECT for SUPERHERO and VILLIAN pictures.

ARTRAGE is a paint program that lets you create 'paintings' and 'drawings' that look like 'real 'paintings' and 'drawings'.

Here's one Mrs M did of a 'superhero'

It's really hard 'drawing' and 'painting' with a mouse but we're getting better.

You can get a FREE starter version of ARTRAGE.

Email your ARTRAGE artwork to 1mgems@gmail.com

We'd love to see your creations!
