Summer Learning Journey: Hana Koko 2020 - 2021

 Summer Learning Journey: Hana Koko 2020 - 2021

Hello! I'm back, sorry I haven't been active for a few days but here is an original Santa Claus outfit inspired by my home country, the Philippines! 

For this activity we had to make our own Santa Claus costume/outfit using google drawings based on where we live. I used to live in the Philippines 4 years ago and I really miss my friends and family from the Philippines so I've dedicated this costume for my love to the Philippines!

I was inspired by: 

This outfit is inspired by my home country, Philippines! The colors, sun and stars are inspired my the Philippines flag.

The reason why I had included these special details from the flag since I wanted to show my appreciation and love for Philippines and for my family there!

Even though we had to make it digitally using google drawings I also drew it by hand. Fun fact it was actually the opposite, I recreated this Santa Claus costume digitally! This costume was originally made/drawn on paper.

I'll be showing both!

P.S I made my own costume using different kinds of shapes meshed together. I didn't use any existing images/pngs and I also did quite a bit changed the outfit on the digital one I made.

Summer Learning Journey: Summer Haiku

Summer Learning Journey: Summer Haiku

Today I had made a Haiku about the night in summer. What is Haiku? you may ask, Haiku is a short type of poetry that is originally from Japan! traditional Haiku incorporates a three phrase that contains a kireji (cutting word), 17 in a total of words. in a 5, 7, 5 syllable pattern including a kigo (A seasonal reference).

Here is my Haiku about the night in summer ↓

In my opinion, making Haikus are very explicit and tend to be challenging sometimes can be stressful, you have to think carefully choosing your words especially when there is a limit on how much you could use. but for me, a person who is very interested in the culture of Japan, I really enjoy making haikus of my own.

Summer Learning Journey: Fishy False Teeth

 Summer Learning Journey: Fishy False Teeth

For this activity: we had to watch a video called teeth, two elderly men were fishing and then one had lost their dentures while the other laughed, he thought of pranking the person who had lost their dentures thinking he had found them inside a fish's mouth.
