what is clowning

 what is clowning?

Clowning is someone doing something funny or comedy. All though you might think clowning is dressing up in massive red shoes and a red nose but since now people have turned it into horror instead of comedy. 

Normally clowns use sounds instead of words.

Me and my hurumanu have been going to drama this term ! Our teacher is Mr Wilkes, He is really nice and really good at acting.We are learning about type of clowns in drama . 

1. The clown who wears the flower, big shoes, white paint in his/her face and a red nose.
2. The clown who is in horror movies, like killer clowns.
3. The clown which is just a silly person who makes people laugh but just wears a normal outfit.

Mr Wilkes told us that a lot of people lost there jobs of being clowns that paint their face with funny and colour outfits with a red nose because a lot of people these days are afraid of clowns because of the type of horror movies these days. Usually people are just in plays and ACT like a clown, like funny, silly and even gibberish like minions:

We did some activities like icebreakers and some acting games which were pretty fun! sadly I didn't do a two games since I was feeling well, but besides that, drama was awesome! :)

Drama plays

 So this week for Drama We started scripting our plays with our masks. The people that did the plays with me was Amanda( middle right seat) Jordan (middle left) Venice (end left) Me (Right end) . So the first thing we did was started thinking about what we wanted our play to be about and planed it all out on paper. We decided to do a play about watching a movie. Then we rehearsed it a couple of times to get it perfect, then Picked the music and the lighting which was fun. For this play I didn't use my mask That I made but thats ok.

So here it is I hope you like it.

 So for the past couple of weeks I have been Working on making my kiwi mask for drama. At the moment I have Made it and decorated it but I still need to make a video of me wearing the mask and Moving around.

But here is my kiwi mask that I made.

I did add a little bit of glitter to the mask like on the beak and the green leaves on the top. But that is what my kiwi mask looks like. Hope you like it! 

Bird mask plan

  So for drama  we are starting to make some bird masks. What we have done at the moment is done some research about what birds want to do and what type of masks we want to do. We had a look at some of the older students have made, and tried some on.

I have decided to make a Kiwi mask. The reason why I want to make a kiwi mask is because I found Some Really cool templates and I saw some really cool masks of kiwis that people made.

Here is my plan on my kiwi mask design ...
