Lockdown artist.

 Hello welcome back to my blog.

Lockdown was hard for most of us but one thing that kept many going was Henry Sunderland who made a lockdown comic every day of lockdown even making specials for certain days like mothers day and Anzac day. In my class one thing we did was we were given some of his drawings and had to colour them in. People were chosen to show our work to Henry Sunderland in person and win a prize. I was one of these people, but before we did that we first had to do a doc about him and write some fun facts then post it to our blogs. Here is my work.

the facts about him

1. He used to be a gnome artist and in 1977 he took the first gnome to the south pole 

2. He did art in stained glass for a little bit

3. He has a twin brother who he did art for kids books for

4. He was given the 2012 Christchurch city earthquake award

5. He was a teacher but is now a free lance artist

6. He used to do carpet art

7. He designed Sidney hotels

8. He started making comics and publishing them in 1976

9. He started his lockdown series because he thought ‘well, what am i gonna do’ and settled on making cartoons every day

10. When the earthquakes hit in 2011 he suggested to put flower heads in the road cones

11. He made a thing called gnoming where people steal others garden gnomes and take them around the world taking photos of them at famous landmarks and send it to the owners of the gnomes he started this when he took two of his own gnomes called Charlie and Harry and took photos of them around his trip in Antarctica

Hello welcome back to my blog. I hope your having a nice day.

Today in biology we made some sherbet and looked at the chemical reactions that would happen because of what was inside of it. we then learnt about what we can use baking soda with because the sherbit needed sherbet and we learnt why here is my work.

baking soda is also know as sodium bicarbonate. Due to its abrasive and cleaning properties it is used as a raising agent in baking as a household cleaner and in a number of other ways.
