Today was Friday the 13th, but we were pretty lucky! We had PJ day because yesterday was our Holiday Concert. We were exhausted! We decided we earned a day to be LAZY! We turned on the fireplace and spent the morning reading, relaxing, and watching a movie. After lunch we went for a quick library class to stock up on new books for the break, and then we did a fun art project. We were making birch trees scenes at either night or dusk.
To begin, we had to decide if we wanted our scene to be oriented either landscape or portrait. Next we took green painters tape and created our trees with branches.
We had to make sure that there were no air bubbles in the tape, or else it would ruin our nice white trees. Our next step was to take watercolour paints and cover the whole paper in colour. We had to make sure all of the white parts of the paper were covered.
Once we were done painting and our paper was wet, we sprinkled some salt on our paper. When our papers dry with the salt, it will look like snow (hopefully)!
Stay tuned for part two on Monday!
Here are some photographs of us being lazy. Enjoy!
Have a great weekend!
