Calendar Art

Today we were making calendar art. We could practice to draw a portal in our everyday book then we would get a pencil then draw the portal then we coloured it in with some pastels I used blue and red then I outlined my picture. Then the teacher would take a picture of us and then we would put the picture in the middle of my portal.

Melted wax art

The class started to sketch the body of the clown it was quite hard for me.

We used an electric frypan to melt some crayons we used a muffin container. We did one paint stroke at a time then we dunked the brush in again. We practised the clowns in our everyday book. We used paintbrushes one paintbrush was for one colour the was for another. We had to use a giant piece of paper. It took me about a week to colour the picture in. It took like five minutes to dry after we stroked the piece of paper. We had to have turns on one side and then we went to

the other side. It was really fun.

Art

I think it was quite hard to do the writing because I didn't know what to write. I think the art was really fun because there were so many different colours to use.  

My Self Portrait

The best images to use on our posts are ones we have created ourselves or our own photos. We have been using Google Drawing to create our own and have learnt how to use new tools to make a self portrait. We took a selfie and had to make sure we had our head and shoulders in the picture before we fitted it to the page. Next we used the polyline tool to draw around our face because it is the only line tool that you can colour in. This was tricky because there were no corners on the face so I had to do it in little bits. Next we had to match our skin colour and then we went into the custom tool so we could make our fill transparent. We did this so we could see our faces behind the shape. We used the magnifying tool to make our eyes and mouth bigger. I’m happy with the way my face looks on my self portrait because it looks kind of like mine. I will have to work on my portrait because it kind of looks like a man. Thank you for reading my blog post. Have you ever tried to draw your own self portrait? If not, I hope you will have a go and share your effort with me.
