Claymation Q3

6th grade Pastel Ribbons Q3

We started out with drawing our Ribbons, exploring depth and layering.  Then we applied Elmer's glue to our lines very carefully.  After the glue dried, we colored our Ribbons using soft pastels.  The dry glue acted as a barrier to stop the colors from mixing.

Step Two:
Turn your questions and answers into a one page paper with complete sentences.
For example:  I was named after my mother Beth because my name is Lisa and our names make Elisabeth. The last time I cried was three days ago while watching TLC’s a baby story.  Sometimes I like my handwriting but it really depends on what I’m writing and where. 

Step Three:
Once you have your paper written, make it fit onto one page by changing the font size and style. Be creative. You can use any many different font styles and sizes as you want.   That means that you can make some sentences or words bigger than others.

Step Four:
Design 3 unique symbols that represent you.  Be original. Stay away from hearts, stars and peace signs.  Think of a symbol that is as one of a kind as you. 







Step Five:
-On a piece of 12x12 inch white paper draw your favorite symbol.
-Fill the symbol and background with cut out parts of your paper.
-You can also incorporate drawings, magazine and pictures.
-Your 12x12 paper must be completely covered with words and images.
