Who’s In Charge Lapbook: 7- Democracy


Direct Democracies

Democracy means ‘rule by the people’ and is where every legal citizen is allowed to vote. Democracy started in Ancient Greece. This was direct democracy, where lots of free men went to the crowded market place and made speeches, telling the people their views and ideas. Other free men could vote for these ideas.

Representative Democracies

Most Modern Democracies are Representative Democracies. In this type of democracy people vote for people to represent their view, rather than voting on ideas.

Separation of Power

Executives come up with ideas and laws. The Legislates vote on these laws. The Judiciaries enforce and uphold these laws, making sure the citizens are treated fairly.

Dying of the Light + What Are Inktense Pencils?


This is a drawing I did inspired by Dylan Thomas’s Dying of the Light poem. I was assigned the task of drawing on a sheet of paper, with Dylan’s poem printed on it, what image the poem made in my head. I drew people made from lots and lots of single dashes or lines, who look as though they are fading away. Above the dying figure was a black pit, and a devil-like figure- blood red, glowing and fiery. I like the design so much I decided to do a drawing of the same design on a sheet of A5 watercolour paper. If I’m using pencils, then why do I need watercolour, you may be wondering? The reason is, these are no ordinary pencils. They are the coolest, fanciest pencils ever. They’re called Inktense pencils. And what you do, is you draw normally. And then, you go over them with water, and it makes the design you’ve drawn with the pencils look and act like paint! How cool is that! I especially like them, because I personally think pencils are easier to control, so I can go into more detail with them. BUT… watercolour paint has a great texture and flows and mixes much better. So these inktense pencils are 2 in one. I draw my detail with the pencil, then go over it with water and it flows and has the same texture as paint.
