Still Life Paintings

Last week Mrs. Lowe brought some flowers to our classroom. We did some research on Instagram to find out what they were. We found out that the brown one is called a Shampoo Ginger.

Mrs. Lowe set up a painting station with permanent markers and water-colour paints. First we had to look really closely at the flowers and draw exactly what we saw. Then we used the water-colour paints to colour them in and add backgrounds.

We think they turned out pretty great. What do you think?
















What is your favourite kind of flower?

Dear Room 8,
My favourite kind of flower is a gerbera daisy. They come in so many different colours and the petals are so big!
Your pictures are very lovely. I had never heard of a "shampoo ginger" before. It is a very interesting flower.
