What is something arduous for you?

WALHT: Construct a report to the 7th week of Technicraft.

On Thursday 15th of June, the Year 7 entered the room of woodwork or material tech. Initially, they collected their previous masterpieces and started creating new majestic ones. Each time a new one was constructed, the paint was more accurate, the trimming was perfect and the outlining was outstanding. However, this time fridge magnets wasn't their goal but instead a movable character. It would start by picking a differentiated character and printing it to start tracing or free drawing it to a stiff piece of timber.

Using tracing paper for transferring the image, would be easier but students have the option of doing it free hand which meant they have to do it without tracing paper which was a little arduous depending on their character's details. Once they we finalized, outlining using the pokerwork machine was their next step. This machine was secure to use but if the fiery heat of the dissolved metal adjoined with their skin, it would burn and incapacitate them. Using this slowly and steadily would give them an outstanding result.Image result for fireImage result for paint

Their next challenging instruction was to paint it. As some students rushed their work, some took it very steadily which gave them a marvellous outcome. One of their characters included characters in 'Spongebob', characters from 'Gravity Falls', and varieties of superheroes. Everyone had a different character making theirs unique. Painting it accurately would stand out against the other special character.

Trimming/Cutting was the next arduous step, it would require patience to complete it. Even though this step took a lot of time, finishing it would be a big achievement. A few characters were completed, some were outstanding and astonishing, some limbs accidentally broke when cutting and some trimmed through the character by accident.

Overall, week 7 of Tech was a remarkable day in woodwork. Everyone always enjoys the days in Technicraft as this is an opportunity for Year 7s. Students cannot wait any longer for the next session of Tech for more knowledge, learning and creations!
