Lazy Sneakers: Maia Mariner Response 1 : I see me

 L.I To Design a pair of sneakers that represent you and your cultural identity.


In this DLO, I have completed one of the I see me challenges. The challenge required me to customize a pair of sneakers(of your choice) that represents me. This idea was influenced by a 12 year old Maia Mariner(who is now year-11), who generated a non-profitable operation that allows children and teenagers in need of good quality sneakers. This idea came to her head as soon as she noticed some kids were not able to play sports, as they did not have the fitable footwear. 

With this in mind, I created sneakers that I thought really connected to me and what I represent. I used Nike Dunks and picked a color palette of brown. I used a traditional tongan flower, that embody's tongan culture and the love of our traditions.I also used polyneasian patterns to represent the pasifika community in a whole, and how we standing together as one. 

I really enjoyed doing this activity, as I was able to use my creativity to full-fill my calling as a polyneasian young woman.

Customising Sneakers

L.I To customize a pair sneakers.  

This DLO below displays my vision of how I would customize a pair of sneakers. This activity was inspired by a Kiwi Artist, Rangi-Haira Jaxon Greening, who has used his passion for art to create his own customized sneakers. He has created some iconic shoes, such as creating KFC, Spongebob, 4 spuare themed shoes. Last weeek we were challenged to create a fresh pair of customised sneakers. The theme of my shoes was about the Disney Movie Series : Monsters inc. I used the colors blue and purple to represent one of the main characters(James P. Sullivan) and the green representing another main charachter(Mike Wazowski). The color pink represents Boo who was a main asset to the storyline in the movie. I also included the Monsters University logo to make the shoe complete.


I really enjoyed doing this activity because I was able to go outside of my comfort zone and use my of my creativity.

Katsudo Shashin Animation

 LI: To create an animation. 

One of the oldest surviving pieces of Japanese animation may be a nameless, dateless, approximately 3-second film known as “Katsudo Shashin“ (literally “Action Photo“). It simply features a boy writing the words 活動写真 katsudo shashin and then doffing his cap. Our challenge today was to use our animation skills to create our own 3 second ‘action photo’ using our own manga character. I enjoyed this because I got to be creative and try something new by making my own animation.

The History of Manga

 L.I Research the History of Manga

Our reading comprehension focus today was to complete a  about the history of Manga to show that we are reading for meaning and understanding. Our final challenge in this activity was to create a DLO to share the information we found out. Manga is a originated Japanese collection and series of comic books/graphic novels. Manga was first founded from scrolls back in the 12th - 13th centuries. The word Manga was first bring to light when Hokusai Katsushika used it to describe his ukiyo-e sketches. In 1853+ Manga was than starting to take hold of western influence. Between the years of 1945 - 1980, Manga started to make an appearance as “modern manga”. Osamu Tezuka a Japanese manga artist, created a new and fresh part to the history of manga. Osamu Tezuka in Japan and frequently nicknamed the "Walt Disney of Japan" by Americans, Osamu Tezuka was perhaps the most important contemporary comic artist in entire Japan. On February 9, 1989 when Osamu Tezuka passed away, it was evaluated that he had drawn approximately 170,000 individual cartoons and created somewhere near 700 stories. After Osamu Tezuka's death, Manga magazine Weekly Young Magazine was introduced and a lot of famous manga's that we know of now(which have now been put into anime's) including, Goku, Sailor moon etc. 

We found it interesting that the oldest Manga is from the 12th and 13th century.
