Sam Paper Sculpture

We made paper sculptures thinking about colour, shape and space. Then we photographed them ourselves. Here are my thoughts about my sculpture:

People can shoot through to the green spiral and then jump. My sculpture is an obstacle course.

Sam: Autumn Leaves

I like my leaves. I like the printed one best because it has the most colours on it and it was the easiest to do. The sketching was quite hard.

Sam: Mother's Day Card

We used finger prints to make the flowers and bees on these Mother’s Day cards. My mum is fantastic.

Sam's Wiggle Pictures

To make our 'Wiggle" pictures firstly we painted a long, black, wiggly line starting on one side of the page and ending on the other side. The different parts of the line could touch but were not allowed to cross over. Next we used 4 different colours to paint in the spaces. We tried hard not to paint spaces next to each other the same colour. Finally we added texture using black and white paint and small patterns of dots, circles, waves, crosses and seagulls. In ICT we made another wiggle picture using Tuxpaint or Kidpix on the computer.

I like the colours in both of them. The painting was easiest to do, I tried hard doing the little, white seagull patterns. I like my computer picture best.

Sam's Chalk Writing

I like the name with the star next to it the best because it is almost sitting on the line. - Sam 21/3/09

Elmer The Elephant by Sam

As part of our work on the sound 'e' we read the story of Elmer the Elephant by David Mckee. Then we made our own pictures of Elmer using wax crayon and water colour dyes. I like the colours but I need to fill the white gaps up.
