Carved Banana Sculptures

Hi Everyone,

I came across this article while I was reading the news on the internet. It’s about this man called Keisuke Yamada who carved bananas to create small sculptures. It seems easy but when you think about it, it’s actually quite hard to do because bananas are delicate and if you make one tiny mistake, it may damage the whole banana.

Here’s the link to the article:

Which of the sculptures are your favourites? I like the dragon the most!

 

Hope you enjoy!

Photography Walk

Tomorrow, from 9:25, we will go for our first photography walk together. This is to achieve the following:

• To become aware of the world and people around us
• To become more observant
• To develop photography skills
• To gather information for our inquiries

We will follow quite a simple route for our first walk, as you can see on the map above. Hopefully, however, there should be plenty of life to see along Asoke as there are markets in that area during the week.

Look out for our photos on our Flickr account.

Homework – Edit Your Photos

You have been taking some amazing photos and putting them on Flickr. You have taken photos of things and people that are around you in your everyday life in Thailand. You have put your photos into the Thailand Time & Place set, you have also added tags and titles, you have set the privacy and copyright settings and you have added your photos to the map. This is incredible stuff!

So, today…

• If you have already taken photos, edit some of your photos using Piknik
• If you have not already taken photos, you must do it.

Make a comment on this posting to tell us what you have done today.
