Art Tips

My portfolio

Hello everyone, today I want to show you some of my drawings and talk about them! Down below should be a video with some of my drawings for you to see!

I am a self-taught artist!

When I want to draw a picture I always have different types of pencils such as HB, 4H, H, 2B, 4B, 5B and 9B

I also have to have a sharpener, a really good rubber and a drawing pad!

When you are colouring you could use pens, pencils, oil pastels, watercolour, paint, crayons, and charcoal.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid News

                  Diary of a Wimpy Kid 
                              News



I found out that Diary of a Wimpy Kid can be read in different languages!

                     This is in Portuguese 

' O Diario de um banana "


   

I find it interesting to know that 'wimpy kid' means 'banana' in Portuguese.

Now I understand, I think that books are translated in different languages when they are really successful in their first language, so the world can know about them!  
                                                                                              

                                         
I found a trailer for Dog Days on youtube in Portuguese!

Watch it!

Guess what! They use voice-over technique, so the mouth moves and then they put a voice over it!


The voice-over for Greg Heffley in Brazilian-Portuguese is Fabricio Vila Verde!!!

I hope that you enjoyed these facts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
                                                                         

Candle craft

                                                 Candle Craft 
                     

              Hello and welcome back to Dreamcatcher!

At Christmas I got a candle making kit which I was delighted to have! So today I decided to show you how to make candles!
First we need to know what products we will use to make the candles.

                                What you will need
              
                1. Wax (as much wax you need to fill the mould)

      
                 2. Blue tack


                3. Dye (any colour)


                 4. Fragrance (any scent)



                5. Candle wick


                  6. A stick



                7. Mould



   Now that we have these items we can start our coloured candle!

* The first step is to tie the wick to the stick and place it on the mould

* Next we will take the end of the wick and thread it through the hole in the mould and put a bit of blue tack to stable it

* Heat a double boiler (no more than 185 degrees Fahrenheit) with water and pour some wax, also add some dye and fragrance

* Pour the melted wax in the moulds and put the moulds in the freezer for ten to twenty minutes

* Take the stick out and get the candle free

* Last but not least, light the candle to get an amazing scent

        That's it, you have made a candle! I hope this helped you! 

5 a day

                                                           5 A DAY

            Hello and welcome back to Dreamcatcher

Today I thought of our 5 A DAY and then I noticed that many people eat more fruit than vegetables!

For example, if you go out and buy a smoothie it is more likely to contain fruit than vegetables.




INGREDIENTS
1. strawberries, blackberries and raspberries
2. pineapples, oranges and mangoes
3. cherries and strawberries





If you are asked to choose between a fruit salad and a normal veg salad, many people will choose fruit salads, well at least kids would!


At Mc Donalds if you buy a happy meal, it will come with either carrot sticks or fries and if more people choose carrot sticks they
 would start to get into the habit of eating veggies as well as fruits!

What about our GREENS? They are just as important as the rest! Some of the most popular greens are  
                                 spinach and kale!

There are many other greens to eat which are part of your 5 A DAY but how often do we eat them? 

What about we do this little task? If you can eat 1 green  
a day for a month it means at the end of 1 month you will have eaten about 30 greens! Imagine how much nutrients you will get in your body!



What will I get from eating greens? 
Green vegetables are considered the best vegetables on the planet, in other words they are super foods! Spinach is high in iron and vitamins A, C, E and K and is also low in fat! While kale also has vitamins A, C and K and it has more calcium than milk!


Isn't a GREEN SMOOTHIE pretty?







What about a GREEN ICE LOLLY?









And what about KALE CHIPS?







So why don't you join my 30 DAYS GREEN CHALLENGE!!!!!!

 The name for this challenge is 'WHERE'S MY GREEN A DAY?'

Why don't you comment some pictures of green smoothies, ice lollies and kale chips that you have been eating!!

Diary of a wimpy kid

                                         
     Book Review on the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid


                                          Hello and welcome to DREAMCATCHER.

Today I thought it would be nice to do a book review on the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid! The book like any other Diary of a Wimpy Kid is extraordinary! This book is called Diary of a Wimpy Kid Old School because Greg Heffley (the main character) finds it hard to live without electronics at home like the olden days. His mum was the creator of a petition called 'lets unplug to reconnect'. As lots of people in town signed it, Greg was frustrated!

Grandpa moved to Greg's house because his rent got too costly! Now you can imagine how many adventures happened. To give you a quick taste of the book I'll tell you a bit about what happens next.

Although grandpa lost his driving license a year ago, he drove Greg to buy paint for the house. Grandpa was driving very quickly on the wrong side of the road and also used all the petrol in the car! So he can escape from being in trouble with his dad, Greg decided to go on the school trip (to the worst place ever) but his dad came to be a chaperone!
