In Arts and Crafts this year we have learned about different
types of textures and how to represent them. We went to the playground to find
many different textures. We brought leaves to class and examined the textures
to draw our very own class tree.
After that project, we made Christmas Cards with a poem and a drawing as a gift for our families. The poem was called ‘Twas the Night before Christmas, it was about Santa Claus.
Next, we learned about
Vincent Van Gogh. We read about his life and looked at many of his paintings.
He made realistic self-portraits, so we brought mirrors to make our own. We
played a game with Brendan to guess the portraits of our classmates, it was
very fun! 
After the portraits we created a still life of
flowers made with cardboard, tissue paper, and crayons of many different
colors, they look beautiful!
