Portraits by Amelia



Portraits  

In class Mr Forsyth has been drawing the outline of us by shining a projector on the class one at a time. He has been lightly drawing around us with a pencil.

After he had finished drawing the outline of each of us, we had to cover our desks in news paper and put our portrait on them. Mr Forsyth gave each table group a tub of crayons and we started coloring in our portraits. We could use whatever color and whatever pattern we wanted to use.

After we had colored in our portrait we were ready to paint over our coloring. We sat at a table and Mr Forsyth lay out a big black sheet and Stella and I started to paint over our picture in black paint.

After, we put our picture outside and put some stones on it to stop it from blowing away. While it was drying we typed up our biographies on the computer.

When it was dry we cut around the outline of our portrait. Using the tip of a paint brush we started scraping of the black paint into whatever shape we wanted it to be. I chose stars..

Silhouette Art and our writing.


We have done some silhouette art for our room. Here is how we did it.
First I got Mr Forsyth to draw around my shadow.
Then I coloured it in with crayon.
Next I painted over top of the crayon.
After I had written my biography I stuck it on to my silhouette.
I scraped out patons on the silhouette.
Finally I cut it out.   

James, Pip and Harold


Hi, my name is James. We have been going to see Harold and Pip on a Thursday. We go in a truck called Life Education Bus. They talk about body parts and the brain. On the last day we did karaoke with Harold. Pip and Harold think their bus can do wheelies!!
