Pumpkin art

What a busy morning we have had in Room 14! Cody bought in a very cool Jack O'Lantern for news so we decided to make our own. We poured orange paint onto the table then painted pumpkin lanterns with our fingers - lots of fun!!! Quinn even made a pumpkin cat! Then we laid a piece of white paper over our design and 'printed' our picture. They look great! Mrs Ashley took photos and then we put them into Photo Peach and tried two different ways of viewing them - in a slideshow or a spiral. Both look wonderful! We also made our Photobabbles about our animal pictures - thank you for all the comments you have sent back to class, we love hearing from you!

Symmetrical paintings

On Friday we drew and painted some Winnie the Witch shoes and legs using symmetry to help us. Jamie said "It is like making a mirror image." We began by folding our paper in half, drawing the back of one boot, then the back of the other boot. We tried to keep both sides of our picture the same.
We added in a spider as Winnie the Witch likes spiders, then we dyed our painting, trying hard to keep the stripes on her stockings the same!
We are so proud of our symmetrical paintings - they look amazing!
