So far none of the people I have contacted have replied back...so I've got a plan, I'm going to try look up other artists just in case my artists don't contact me, which is a bummer because I really liked my artists and I found out a lot of information about them. If anyone is reading this post and if you have a way of helping out, please help :) my two artists are Tamara Dean and Peter Robinson.
I've done my Reading Response
Besides that I can't move much forward until I have at least one of my artists reply.
In a bit of a pickle...

First day of goals
Today we've been told that we have to write a 'to do list' and comment every period what we have done. This I think is kinda of annoying because we are wasting our time commenting rather than doing the work, but I will still try this out. Well my goals...
1) Try to get contacts for my artists
I got an email from a magazine on Peter Robinson, he said he didn't have a contact but he linked me to someone else. At home I'm also going to try and contact them on Facebook, so far that's all I've got back, I haven't found out anything about Tamara Dean.
2) Finish my Reading Responses
Almost finished...
3) Research on artwork
I'm trying to find out as much as I can about three pieces of artwork on each of my artists.
-What was happening in the artist life at the time? did this influence the artwork?
- How was the artwork made? How do these things influence the viewer?
-Did any other artist's or art styles/genres influence this specific artwork?
If I can't find all of this information it will be included in my questions to them
Hopefully I won't have to change my artists, still fingers crossed!
also turns I can't come on the road trip to Wellington, I'm so busy on the 16th of March :/
2.39- Well so far I've almost almost finished my reading response, I'll finish the rest tonight.
and found out more information about my artists.

Lagging
Well I think I'm a bit behind now, I'm having trouble finding contacts for my two artists (Tamara Dean and Peter Robinson) so I have decided to contact magazines/books that they have featured in and see if they can give me their email or tell the artists that I'm interested in interviewing them, also I have a practice Reading Responses for English, but everything at the moment isn't working out. Yesterday (Monday 27th) I wasn't at school because I was on a Biology trip to Maungatautari island, that was AMAZING but that means I missed out on somethings, and I'm lagging behind. Something that is even worse is the road trip to Wellington I may not be able to go to due to another Biology trip, both of these things are important and I'm just seeing if maybe I can do the assessment for Biology without going on the trip, fingers crossed I'll work this all out somehow

Artists
Well I haven't done a post in a couple of days, so far we're just starting up our magazines, we've agreed to a name, passionfruit. Which seems to catch other peoples attention. At the moment we are finding at least two artists that we are interested in, mine are Tamara Dean (photographer) and Peter Robinson (sculptor) Their works amazing! I'm coming up with twenty questions for each of my artist so that I can either Skype them or meet them in person for an interview, which makes me kinda nervous, because I'm not so used to asking strangers questions without giggling away, it's defiantly a challenge. These interviews will be put in the magazine or website that we're creating. So during term two we are off on a family road trip to Wellington and later on up to Auckland, exciting, can't wait!
Here is some of their work (Tamara Dean and Peter Robinson)

Time Capsule
Time Capsule
This is part of an English assignment that I had to do... so this is just about me and my opinion on things, enjoy :)
What is important to me:
My education is one of the most important things to me, I want to succeed in the jobs I choose for the future, and I enjoy learning and experiencing new things. Even things that are irrelevant to school I like to know about, like ‘Why does the sky turn orange at sunset’ Which is one of the things I actually don’t know yet, but don’t worry I’ll find out...
I’ve been told I ask too many questions.
Relationships are another important thing because these people support me through the ups and downs, and watch me grow into a better person. I know I would be lost without them.
Health, I know health is very important because I couldn’t achieve anything without being healthy first, I learnt this two years ago when I got taken into hospital with an appendectomy because my appendix ruptured, and even though that wasn’t my fault I think I’ve looked after myself a lot better since.
My views on:
Pollution: I don’t agree with people littering or trashing the environment, we should look after it as in the future no one wants to live in a dump. We take so many things from the earth and in return we should look after it. It’s all like a cycle, well that’s the way I look at it.
Judgements: Judging is something that we all do at some point, but I think people should keep an open mind on others they don’t know especially if its a bad opinion, and I don’t think you can say you hate being judged because everyone does it at some point.
Abortion: I don’t believe in abortion, it’s wrong to me, even if a young girl falls pregnant and she does not want to keep the baby, there are lots of women who can’t have children, that would love a child, it’s like saying murder is okay. That poor little child loses it’s life because of one mistake.
Memories:
My best memory, I don’t know I have many. One that I’m thinking of now is when I was little I would be tucked in for the night with my pillows and all 30 soft toys, each one named and in a certain place, to scare off the monsters (I had a HUGE imagination, still do) and my dad used to sit on the bed beside me and read me a bed time story, I can’t remember if he was good at reading but I know I used to enjoy it.
What makes me:
Laugh: Almost everything makes me laugh, life would be miserable without it :) My closest friends make me laugh the most, my laugh changes into a siren and i start crying when I find something very very funny.
Cry: Sad movies make me cry, I just always feel what they are going through like I’m going through it too. Movies like Marley and me (I cry every time the dog dies) I’ve never watched the notebook so that would be interesting.
Worry: I worry about peoples feelings, friends/family and my pets and if somethings not working out the way that I want it to, but most of the time my worry goes away very quickly because I’m determined to fix it.
Definitions:
What is beautiful? something that is flawed and imperfect. Mother nature is the most beautifulest thing and it’s not beautiful if you try to change it, it just becomes fake and unnatural.
What makes a kiwi? well everyone would say stuff like BBQ’s, jandals and socks, rugby, but I consider that stereotyping,they just represent us. Friendliness, and support are the things that separate us from other countries.
My friends and parents would say I was:
Caring, trustworthy, loyal, good with advice, determined, strong, patient, happy, sometimes lazy….a bookworm, hilarious, weird, sometimes sassy, stubborn, an animal lover
How have I changed in the last five years? I would like to say I’ve matured but I don’t think I have, one of the biggest things I think has changed is my confidence levels, 5 years ago I was the kid that was very shy,didn’t like speaking my opinion and had very few friends, now I voice my opinion too much probably, and have plenty of friends.
What do I want from life? Wow... that’s a big question, I guess I want to live life to the fullest, learn as much as I can; experience as much as I can and leave a mark on this world, to show that I was here at one point. I can’t ask for anymore than that.
What do I think of myself? do I understand myself?
Well I’m comfortable with being myself now and I’ve come to not care what others think of me, their opinions don’t matter because they’re not important to me. I wouldn’t say I understand myself, I think my friends know me more because to me an outsiders perspective is clearer, like a camera when you zoom in too far to take a picture, you can’t see anything ,but when you zoom out you see the whole picture, crystal clear. I don’t love myself but I don’t hate myself either.
Have I viewed anything that is memorable or has made an impact on me?
Sure, many things inspire me. To think of just one tthough is tough, I guess the most impacting thing is when I read books, I feel like it’s my world, a place that I can hide away in. Every story has a plot that without you realising teaches you something or has something that you can relate to in your own life, or life as a whole. Books like Last Song, The hunger games, Tomorrow when the war began series, Graceling, Narnia Series etc...
How am I different from other people?
Well there is the obvious reason, D.N.A, but I think the two things that set me out from others is I don’t try to fit in at all, I don’t care if it’s cool or in with the trends, I don’t care if your popular or hated, if your my friend your my friend. I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t find fitting in with everyone appealing. The second thing is I look at life like my phrase “ If you don’t like your life, fix it” I don’t see any use in moping around because you think your life is too hard ,no. If you think about other people who are going through worse, you realise it’s not a big deal even if it is, you will survive, change will come.

Renovations
Well our class now looks much much better than it did before, we've painted the walls white so it makes our work stand out on the wall, to help us critique- this took forever!! but I think it was well worth it. We put up new shelves and computer desks, painted doors and cupboards, created a cloak bay to put up our bags, that was one of the things I was looking forward to, it feels like primary again :) and created a kitchen area. One thing that was disappointing was that there was some people that did a whole lot of work and others did hardly any, Mr Cunnane (My art project teacher) said this happens not just at school but also in jobs, so we're working on evening out the load to carry out our class phrase we only succeed, if we all succeed.

Introduction- Creating our classroom
Hey my name is Sharnae Amber Hope, and I go to Fraser High School in Hamilton, New Zealand. I'm a year 12 and have been accepted into a new art project this year. We have been given the chance to create magazines and websites that will be sold/viewed by people. This is my second day in the art project and I'm enjoying myself :). Our first assignment was to create a room that we felt comfortable to learn in, so we have all pitched in ideas of the things we would like in the class and have come to an agreement. At the moment we are just sorting out how to design our classroom and what colours we want to use. I'm really excited about this year because I'm focusing on a subject that I really enjoy (including Biology) and am able to expand my knowledge in journalism, photography, art etc...
