Swimming

Today room Fourteen is going to Y.M.C.A pools at 11:15. I am not that thrilled going to the swimming pools because I don’t really like it beacause I am not swimming.

When we get there the people who go swimming have a quick rinse. People who don’t go swimming go and sit on the bench. Then they speedily get change out of their school  uniforms and rush into their togs.  As I sit on the bench I watch my friend get into the pool when the instructor says so.

Group one are learning to do kicking underwater, hold on to the board. Group three is learning to do brain,goggle, cheek. Group two is learning to do swimming to island.

Hopefully next time I can go swimming.

Andy Warhol

Did you know in 1968 Andy Warhol nearly died because he got shot 3 times from a madwoman name Valerie Solanas, but actually he died in 1987 after a gallbladder operation? I am talking about an American artist called Andy Warhol. He is a man that does lots of art. He was famous for doing art of famous people like Mohammed Ali, Marilyn Monroe and also other things.

Andy Warhol’s style of art is called pop art. Pop art means popular art. He did pop art of celebrities and even supermarket products. Warhol painted supermarket products like Coca Cola, Tomato soup.
In his pop art, the artist used bright colors (light blue, yellow, light green) and inverted colours together. Warhol used simple strong shapes and also did screen printing. His art had bold outlines so it can look like real people. Sometimes he silk screened the pictures too.

I think that Andy Warhol is a good artist. My favourite piece of his work so far, is Mohammed Ali because he used some pastel colors. 

I have checked paragraph 2 and gave it 18/20
