Sea Turtle Art

Over the past week Miss King has been doing some awesome sea turtle art with us. We've been learning about how to care for turtles in NZ for our inquiry unit, so the turtle art linked in really well. First we had to draw our outline with chalk. Once we had our outline we coloured the sections of our turtle in with bright coloured crayons. Then we used a black wash of dye to cover our turtle. We learnt that the dye wouldn't stick to the crayon, but that it would turn the chalk black. This week we are going to create our background and then Miss King will mount our art onto black paper for us. We will upload a slideshow of all the art work once we have completed it.
