Week 37: Self Parr-Traits!

Books We Read
It's Okay to Be Different
Otto's Birthday Party

Song - Flutterby Butterfly
Why did the Butterfly Flutterby?
Why did the Butterfly Flutterby?
Why did the Butterfly Flutterby?
'Cause he saw the dragonfly drink the flagon dry!
Flutterby butterfly flutterby.
Flutterby butterfly flutterby.
Drink that flagon dry, dragonfly!
Flutterby butterfly flutterby!

Other Things We Did
We finished off our large butterfly wings, having students search for matching, symmetrical print halves and then pasting them to our butterfly wings.

We discussed how Todd Parr makes portraits, and went about creating our own!

Step 1: After talking about what Todd's pictures look like (circle heads, simple hair, dots and lines for eyes and mouths, no noses), we drew our own with pencils on watercolour paper.

Step 2: We learned about outlining and outlined the pencil drawing with oil pastel.

Step 3: We used different colours of watercolour to paint the papers, creating the final stage of our Todd Parrtraits!
