This week in Room 5 we did Matariki stars for art. First we had to design a star in our spare book. We had to find some patterns  with some patterns. Then we got card and pastels. We then had to colour in the card with the pastels and then paint it with black paint.We had to make sure that we put on a thick layer of pastel or crayon on as it would make it stand out more when it comes to scratching the paint off.The more colour over the card made the stars look so much better. 

When it was dry we got a nail and scratched out our designs in the shape of a star. The thicker we did the lines the more effective the designs looked. They all look so cool with all the different colours coming through.
