Dragon Eggs

Last week as part of the STEM lesson I made dragon eggs.

To do this I first boiled eggs for 10 minutes and then cooled them in cold water.

I then prepared five mugs with water and a few drops of food colouring in each.

When the eggs had cooled I rolled them about to break the shells and popped each into a mug and put them in the fridge overnight.

In the morning, I took the eggs out of the mugs and peeled the shells off.  The pattern on the egg underneath was amazing, they really did look like a dragons egg.  I was very pleased with the result.

My finished Dragon Eggs – which one is your favourite?

Lockdown online art

Hello everyone.
On Monday afternoon me and my mum decided that we would do an online art project. We found a nice lady on YouTube that gave step by step instructions to create a piece of art called Blossom Tree.

We set up with paint brushes, acrylic paint, water and special art paper.  We started with a sketch then the moon and the night sky as you can see in the picture.

Next we did the water with the moons reflection on it, then moved into the land either side.After that we did the tree trunk and the roots with reflective highlights. Finally I did the blossom on the tree, the rocks and grass.

I used two amazing techniques, first to make the stars we used a brush and a flicking motion, secondly to do the pink blossom we used some cotton buds. Here’s the finished picture.
