Beautiful Jars

We made these jars using recycled jars we collected. We were careful and patient and added newspaper and paste, keeping it very smooth. Next some of us added a design made of pipe cleaners, then we covered it in toilet paper so that our colours would be bright. We finished them off by painting them and then varnishing them. Some people added jewels.

Sea Bucket Art and Writing

 

 

We created these buckets full of sea life by carefully drawing the outline of a bucket, then adding details such as rocks, sea weed and underwater creatures. We used a variety of lines, patterns and shapes.  In writing, we then wrote a set of instructions on “How to draw a sea bucket.” We made sure that the layout was appropriate for a set of instructions and that we used ‘linking’ words for each step.
