Fun Flower Art


   
We have being busy over the last three weeks doing art with Mrs Cleghorn we have done awesome  flower, look at some cool art below.

What we needed cardboard,  paint, flour, paste and calico fabric.
What we did: to make the outside frame cut the cardboard 35 by 35, measure 5 centimetres inside the piece of cardboard to create a frame. 

Cut the calico fabric 33 x 33 centimetres. The next step get an A4 piece of paper draw your favourite flower, stick the piece of paper under the fabric, trace the picture on using a black crayon.

Make a paste using flour and water, put the paste into a squeezy  bottle and put it over the lines on the fabric.

Once the paste is dry, paint it using bright colours. 



When the paint is dry pick off the paste and then you will have a cool piece of art work like this.


We have decided to sew it altogether and make a wall hanging for the library. It looks very effective.

Our new art project is making 3D flowers using papier-mâché, they are going to look great also.
