Our first trip this school year was to the beautiful Japan. We studied the intricate patterns and folding on Japanese kimonos. To make our own kimonos, we used origami. Our trees were made with several types of line. We used ink and blew through straws to create the black lines. Our landscapes were then completed with a clothing line and tissue paper for our cherry blossoms.

1st and 2nd India- Peacocks
Our first travels this year took us all the way from Florida to India! We talked about how peacocks are the national bird of India and that they create many beautiful works of art dedicated to them. While creating our peacock tails, we talked about how line can break up a composition. We used horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines in our tails. To make our tails we used tissue paper bleeds then decorated them with pattern.
