Kaleidscopes

On the second week of Term 1 we made kaleidscopes. First we folded a piece of paper into eight tringles. We got a cut out piece of paper that was shape as a tringle and wrote our names in it in bubble writing then we traced it up against a window, we had to reflect every second name before tracing the outline. Then we coloured it in to give the appearance of a Kaleidscope.

Self-portraits with a Twist

We made self portraits with a twist. We did them with our eyes closed. We were given instructions to follow and moved our finger around our face to guide our pencil. We had three or four goes and then choose one to outline in vivid and colour in pastel.

Kaleidoscope Names by Room7

As an art project, Room 7 made things called 'kaleidoscope names'. To make these, we simply took a small piece of paper the shape of a triangle, wrote our names on it and traced it onto another piece of paper. Here are some examples:
