Cultural Night Art

Our school is having an Cultural Evening/Night. For this event, every class is to perform something for Our class, Te Kahu, is performing an act and we are creating art, Dot Art. Dot Art is pretty self explanatory,it's art made of dots. We began this on Monday and we are progressively continuing the process of finishing the art, as it takes a very long time. A massive factor for Dot Art is taking your time, if you don't take your time and you rush then it will come out looking messy and just not good. 🐶

____________________________________

“Why, why would you do this?” Garroth said sadly “because you took everything away from me my home, my town and my family but now I'm going to take everything away from you.” said Ein. “ Wait let’s rewind this to where it all began”. 

“Hey! What are you looking at?” Garroth said to Jeff, (the mirror, a.k.a Garroth’s reflection.) “No! Garroth is at the mirror again” Lisa (Garroth’s mum) shouts. But at the end of the street is an elephant, an evil elephant named… Ein. One day Garroth went down the Road and saw an old house so seeing how dumb he is he enters it. He sees a mysterious man so he hides in a box, it was Ein, he was walking in circles he heard him saying something but he could not make out what he was saying. SNAP! Ein looked at the box luckily there was an escape place at the bottom of the box so he went into it and escaped.

(Ein’s origin story)

Ein build’s inventions and machines that changed everything! They were mainly used as their purpose, but Ein made his inventions to help out his parents. But others abused the machines and gadgets he made and used them selfishly rather than using them to help others.

But Ein grew jealous of how his parents were so obsessed with their new neighbor, Garroth the Giraffe. He is so funny, kind, adorable, sweet and amusing his parents would always say, and we love all his magic tricks he performs for us! One day Ein grew sick of it, for he wasn’t being acknowledged of all the hard work that he was doing to impress his parents. So he bursted at his parents about this, Ein’s parents were not happy with his behaviour so they threw away all of his tools and his materials in the basement.

Garroth grew curious so, days after he decided to reinvestigate the house. There he found blueprints of  futuristic machines similar to robots and notes describing what these machines would do. Hours exploring he entered the basement where he found a strange, mystical looking machine. Garroth wanted to get a better look at the strange machine but in doing so he tripped on his own shoelace and fell forward into the machine. Garroth began flying through a wormhole passing by different eras, he began realising that he was inside a time machine. He suddenly got thrown out of the time machine, Garroth was panicking furiously he was very worried and confused. He then heard a humongous ROAR! And a vague shadow in the distance was emerging. Garroth soon realised he was in the year of the dinosaurs! Garroth saw a cove in the distance and sprinted as fast as could towards it. He hid there and began thinking about how he could possibly get back to the present.

Meanwhile, Ein was in the future creating futuristic robots that worshiped him, Ein spent hours on end, day after day working on these robots and eventually, he became successful. “My plan is complete, with these I will be unstoppable!” Ein said evilly. He returned to the present along with all of his dangerous creations, he entered the time machine but in doing so Garroth was brought into the time machine alongside himself and his creations. Garroth saw all of these creations and remembered all of Ein’s blueprints and notes, “Why, why would you do this?” Garroth said sadly. “Because you took everything away from me! My home, my town and my family, but now I’m going to take everything away from you.” Garroth remembered glimpsing at a bottle that contained a purple concoction labeled “If plan fails.” 

Suddenly they were thrown out of the time machine, but when Garroth got up Ein and his creations were out of sight. Garroth knew he had to get his hands on that bottle so he rushed to the house, Garroth had a feeling on where they were but he had to take his chances. He saw the bottle but he also saw Ein and his robotic creations, Ein was writing in a book and it looked as if the robots were inoperative. Garroth thought if he created a distraction good enough, he could quickly get the bottle and leave. There was a shelf on the opposite side of the room holding frames, bottles and other accessories, next to him was a book. Garroth threw the book at the shelf and the items were knocked off. Ein stood to investigate. “This is my chance.” Garroth said to himself he got up and quickly yet quietly made his way toward the bottle, he grabbed the bottle and quietly left but the last floorboard creaked, Ein swiftly turned around, luckily Garroth had made his escape just in time. 

The next day Garroth was walking down the road then suddenly Zap!!! There was a big blast of light shooting into the sky and then poof turning half of the town back into its original town. Garroth saw the light coming from Ein ́s house so he went there… HAHAHA! Laughter coming from the house so Garroth slowly went to the door with his heart pounding he didn't know what to expect. BOOM!!! Garroth kicked down the door and he saw Ein and his beacon “Why, why would you do this?” Garroth said sadly “because you took everything away from me my home, my

town and my family but now I'm going to take everything away from you.” said Ein “you don’t haft to do this” Garroth

“But I do you took everything away from me” said Ein “I know and i'm sorry” said Garroth “That's all I needed to hear” said Ein with a happy tone. So Garroth went into the time travelling cardboard box everything was going according to plan when all of a sudden BOOM! The time machine explodes in the middle of space and time will tell whether Garroth ever returns to his timeline. To this day Garroth still floats amongst space without a clue where his bacon is or where he is heading.
