!Tektonik!

My love for electro, house and club music has taken me to a point, where I have started to learn dance style, which is linked into to these types of music of rapid beat. Throughout summer and through September and October I have been working on my dance skills to a point where I feel I can actually start to perform it and, if my plans with the Christmas Disco succeed, then the school will see me on stage. Of course I still need improvement, more complex moves must be learned as well as combinations. However tektonik is not the only style of dance I have been able to acquire, but locking and DnB (Drum and Base) as well. Hopefully some of my friends join me on stage and Vinit Jha should help me film this soon. By doing this I have:

• Undertaken new challenges
• Increased my awareness of my strengths and weaknesses
• Developed new skills

Music to my Ears...

Everyone enjoys music, it reflects personality and emotion and personally I enjoy electro and club music, and thats exactly what I tried to make. I have never used virtual DJ, but it was recommended by Stefan Filipovic, it took several hours to make a complete song, I think it turned out alright. Maybe next time it will be more complex with more beats and bass, that might be a goal for next time.

By doing this I:

• Undertook a new challenge
• Increased my awareness of my own weaknesses and strengths
• Developed new skills

Drawing has been and always will be a part of me, I love it, and I come home after a wander in the unknown that lasted for 3 months, it is time to fill the streets with colour once again! At the moment I am working on another portrait, well it would be fair to say that I'm working on nine portraits, as I am trying to create my own version of Andy Warhol's work with a different face, of course, simply attempting to use my previous skills in stencilling and link it into pop-art. I should be finished fairly soon, after I cut out the stencils required. However this isn't the only work I am doing in the visual arts section, but tagging has still remained one of my main priorities and it would help me if I actually aimed to draw more mechanically as it will significantly increase my speed, which, when in this sphere of the visual arts, is a necessity. I have been working on my own font and it will be ready fairly soon, it is my goal to finish it by the end of the week, as well as putting in more work involving cartoon characters. Another problem I have come across is the two crates of cans, better get out there and start painting. By doing this I have shown that I:

• have undertaken new challenges
• increased my awareness of my strengths and weaknesses
• developed new skills
• shown perseverance and commitment in my activities

Back to the Gym

I never believed in paying money to go to a gym, since all I needed is some dumbbells, weights and bars, by going to the gym I not only increase my health and ameliorate my physical for, but I help others in achieving the same results. A few weeks back I learnt that my physical health is at a candidate-master-of-sports level, but that does not mean I am about to stop, I have made it this far and I am sure I can push myself further. This month I will add a few new exercises to see if I am able to master them. So far I have achieved:

• Working collaboratively with others at the gym
• Undertaking new challenges
• Increasing my awareness of my strengths and weaknesses
• Showing perseverance and commitment in my activities

International Day 2

This year the International Day activities were organized by the Year 12s, whilst we, the year 13s, were  setting everything up, which included the the carpets, stage and chairs in the concert hall, as well as the organization of our canteen area, which was supposed to hold the food coming in (these were the national foods of the countries of our students) and the parents coming in to help. Although the setting-up of international day was time consuming I was still able to help parents get set up on their tables and give them tours around the school if they wanted to.
This helped me to:

• Increase awareness for my strengths and weaknesses
• Develop new skills
• Undertake new challenges
• Work collaboratively with others
