We also made a Voki each. A Voki is kind of like a cartoon. We each got to make one that we liked. We recorded our voices on the microphone and added our voice to our cartoon Voki. Mrs Klose asked us to talk about the puppets we made for the Art Show. We said what our puppet was, and also what it has or is made of.
Enlarge the handles of a plastic shopping bag by trimming the bag’s sides, front, and back as shown. Fold two pipe cleaners in half and loop each around a handle of the bag. Twist the ends of the pipe cleaners around the shoulders of a sturdy plastic action figure or doll.
When your paratrooper’s ready to fly, fold the bag in half, grab the fold, and whip him up into the wild, blue yonder.
At our school, we have a theme for the class names each year. For example, last year was artists, and the year before was Famous Australians. In 2012, the theme is Fantasy Worlds from literature.
Mrs Klose’s kindergarten class will be ‘Wonderland’ (from ‘Alice in Wonderland’), and Miss Rhodes kindergarten class will be ‘Neverland’ (from ‘Peter Pan’).
Henri Rousseau is the artist our class is named after. We are refreshing our memories about his artworks so we can talk about him on our assembly in week 3. The links below are mostly children’s artworks in the same style as Henri Rousseau. We remember that his artworks often have
Leaves
Animals
Jungles
Colours
Green
Fruit
Today we made an amazing jigsaw mural of one of his tiger paintings that we stuck together. When it’s dry we want to decorate the picture frame and put our names on it, then we can take a photo to put up here. Mrs Klose is very proud of our hard work.
We will do a craft by tracing leaf shapes in oil pastel or wax crayon, doing a green paint wash, and finger-printing some orange ‘blobs’ for the fruits and flowers.
