Marc Chagall

Born: July 7, 1887

Died: March 28, 1985 (He was 97 when he passed away)

Nationality: Russian-French

Known for: Paintings, Stained Glass and Ceramics

He was the eldest of the 9 children. Before WW1 he traveled between Saint Petersburg, Paris and Berlin. He was a Conscript in the Russian Empire. He spent the wartime years in Soviet Belarus, becoming one of the most famous artists in the world. 

Chagall was awarded the Carnegie prize Third prize in 1939 for "Les Fiances" which you can see below.

 

I like this artwork because the blue color fits with the stained glass and the style behind it.

This artwork is very unique because of the animal and the man looking at each other. The circle in the middle is clever as it links the human and animal together.

High Dive Giraffes

 After the giraffes stop, another giraffe is hanging upside-down and the music changes into a terrifying horrific sound. The giraffes stood there looking like they are thinking of something. They want to save the giraffe that is upside-down. The giraffe sees a CCTV cam, it's like someone is trying to watch or kill them. The giraffe licks or uses it's head to block it from watching them. The tower of giraffes help the upside-down giraffe back down to the ground. The tower of giraffes run to find the exit of the facility. As they run, 10 minutes later they find the exit to get away from the building forever and stay back in the wildlife forever. (My version)

Advent

This week we looked at the NZ symbols for Advent... Enjoy

 

Flowers reminds us that we have hope for Jesus and the opportunities he brings.

Purple reminds us Advent is a time to prepare for Jesus' birth.

Families eat and they enjoy themselves as they keep on working on their relationship.

Sunrise doesn't make Advent too far apart, people look forward to see Jesus, The Sun of Justice.

Brightness of the sun brings growth to the flowers as Jesus does to our lives.

Jesus' coming light as the sun rises he knows that people will welcome him and renew their friendship with God.

Flowers remind us that we have hope for Jesus and the opportunities he brings.

Alma

Alma was in the doll for a couple of days waiting for someone to get inside the shop. One day a girl came in trying to look around and saw her doll. The shopkeeper came into the shop before the girl touched the doll, the girl hid somewhere and waited for the shopkeeper to leave, the shopkeeper left. The girl went into the shopkeeper’s office and saw a lot of jars that were sparkly, horrifying, floating souls that wanted to be freed from the doll. The girl opened one and the soul flew out of the office and into a doll. A boy came out of the doll and said “thank you for freeing me.” The boy and the girl went inside the office to open more jars and watched as the souls flew inside the dolls. More people came out of the dolls. The freed souls went to the police and told them everything about the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was arrested and sent to prison forever and ever for kidnapping children.
