Happy Friday, everyone! Well, at least for those
of us living in Asia. It’s May and the rainy season is upon us once again,
which means I’ll be sporting wet shoes and a poncho for the next couple of
months. It really makes me miss having a vehicle with doors and a roof, but
hey, it’s just water, right?
This weekend is Mother’s Day, and coincidently,
we’ve just started our poetry unit, so I thought- what better way celebrate mom
than with a beautiful poem? In language arts we’ve been learning about figurative
language, specifically similes and metaphors, so we read some poems that use figurative
language just to get some ideas. Then, we brainstormed a list of adjectives
that we use to describe our moms.
Later for art, we created a watercolor floral
border to publish out poems on… I got the idea for this project here. Here’s a
few snapshot of our pieces today.
Happy Mom’s Day to all you fierce females out
there. Hope you have a great weekend!
Start with watercolor- be sure to leave a space for your poem!
Any color combo will do...
Once it dries, draw over it with a fine-tip permanent marker or fountain pen (0.5mm)
It's up to you how light or dark the flowers.
Add the final draft of your poem.
Voila! Mother's Day Gift, boss status.
