Art
I think that I have been doing a good job on my art. I am almost finished scratching my sgraffito dragon-fly, and I'm up to going over my mask with white paper not news paper. I think that so far I have done a good job on both of my pieces of art. But with my mask, I think that I could have been a bit more creative, with maybe doing an animal, or something else rather than just a plain mask. We have been doing art lately for tech. Our main focus is sgraffito art, this is when we draw a dragon-fly on a piece of paper (in my case anyway) make it so that some of it is off the page. Then you go over it in crayon really hard, when you finish that you have to paint over the top of it really thick. When the paint is dry, we start scratching out patterns of our own choice. Our second thing that we are doing is paper Mache masks. We glued a mask onto card, and then started paper Mache. When it is dry we can decorate it as much as we like and even make it into a cow or another animal. Lesson 7 This week I finished scratching out my patterns on my sgraffito dragon-fly and painted the background dark blue. I tried to make the patterns intricate, so that they would met the success criteria. After I had painted the background, I sprinkled glitter on the places that I wanted them on. I think that my finished product could have been better. The glitter kind of wrecked it, because it fell out and made a little mess, its not to bad, but I think that it does make it look not as good.

Lesson 6 Lesson 4 This is my sgraffito art. I am about half way through scratching the paint into patterns.

lesson 3



This is my mask that we are making in art. I am up to the stage when I can put white paper on top of the news paper.

Lesson 2







I have now painted all of my dragon-fly, and I am up to scratching.
