Christmas Wreaths

About one week before we got our Christmas holidays from school, Mrs Tillman our class teacher made wreaths and candle arrangements with us in art.

For the candle arrangements you need a lot of evergreen leaves, a candle, decorations and finally you need oasis. To be able to do this you need a lot of patience.

For the wreaths you need a wire hanger, evergreen leaves, decorations and newspapers. If you want to make wreaths you will need a lot of time on your hands because they take a long time to make.

It took us at least an hour to do the candle arrangements and the wreaths. We really enjoyed making them.

Masks

Before the Halloween break,for our Art Class, we made masks from different festivals.
Firstly we blew up a balloon each. After blowing up the balloons, Mrs Tillman gave us some newspaper and wallpaper paste.

We had to put a couple of layers on the balloon. It takes about two days to let it dry.

When the masks were dry we painted and decorated them.
