Astounding artwork

We've been applying our sketching skills to portrait and profile drawing. This is extremely difficult to do. 
We made sure we were really looking at the picture, not just drawing where we think facial features should be. We worked from the eyes and nose outwards to create the outline. Finally, we shaded the dark and light areas of the original pictures. 

I'm sure you will agree we did an excellent job!

We got to try on clothes: 





We played Native American childrens' games: 



We learnt Native American dances: 




We also got to show some parents what we had learnt: 


Thank you to everyone who came to watch!
