On Wednesday we started to do tessellation art/geometry art. The art was really hard. We had to make it even and had to put it in the right spot and blah blah blah. The only fun part was that I got to watercolour but it seemed that everything wanted me to take forever on each thing. What I mean is that I spent 2 whole days at school watercolouring and I still somehow finished it. We did art related to maths because it was maths week, so we had to do art relating to maths.

Step 1.. Draw, Cut, Tape. The first step was to cut out a perfect 5cm square. I got lazy so I just used square shapes. Then I drew a curved line in the corner and then I cut it out. I did the same thing to the other corner. I really quickly tried doing this but I kept messing up. At one point I was so annoyed I almost gave up, but then I realised that my friend was almost down tracing! Which is the next step. I quickly asked her if I could use her template because my templates were so ugly! The video I watched didn’t really help much either. She went really fast and I don’t know if it’s me but it was hard to draw curve lines.

Step 2.. Trace!  Once my friend was done she handed me the template and I felt that my life was once great again (not trying to be dramatic). I then quickly tried to trace around the fish, but that didn’t end well. All of the fishes I traced had lumps like there was a straight line and then there was a lump. My friend saw that I had gone through 5 papers and she told me to use an eraser, but it was too late so yeah… She saw I was struggling and she said that I had to be slow and steady. I tried it and for once in my life I made a perfect fish. I kept going really slow but by the time I got to my 5th fish I had to go swimming. That’s for another time.

Step 3: Waterproof marker and watercolours! When we got back from swimming I quickly went back to my seat and finished tracing my last fishes. I then borrowed one of my friends’ sharpies and then I quickly traced, and fortunately I didn’t make any mistakes. After that I got to colour with watercolours. I could really finish it so the next day I had to come in and finish it. I think the result was amazing!

I luckily finished my art work just before the end of the week. I kinda rushed it, but overall it was pretty nice. It was a bit of a messy week but it somehow worked. I guess we were flexible this week.
