To celebrate the start of a new year and new term we made an art picture that used a variety of techniques and tools. We started off by sponging orange and pink on a purple background. Next we added some purple buildings. We tried to make our buildings different sizes by using different sized sponges. When that dried we took a white chalk pastel and made small circles and then rubbed them with a cotton ball - this made it look like smoke. Finally, we took a toothbrush and spattered some red and yellow over the top half of our picture. This made our picture look like there were fireworks going off. We loved doing this project and our proud of our final product. How do you celebrate the start of a new year? Do you set off fireworks? Have you ever seen fireworks in the sky?
We also did some goal setting. We brainstormed for all the things we do really well and also some of the areas where we want to improve. We wrote our goals down and added them to our pictures.
Did you make any New Year's resolutions? Do you set goals for yourself?
