Daffodil art description

Room 1 girls have been making an end of term art project with Miss.Paton. This is my daffodil art that I
have created during these past 2-3 weeks. To make this type of artwork, it was a very creative and fun
process.

The steps to make this artwork was, you had to get 3 white A4 papers. We had to take the papers
outside on the concrete and rub crayon against them to get an interesting texture. We used dye to colour
our papers. For the petals of the flower we dyed it yellow, the trumpet we dyed orange, and we dyed the
stem green. For all 3 papers, we dyed each of them 3 times so that the colours would show up bright
and bold.

Our class used stencils to trace the shapes on our papers so that it would look more like a daffodil.
All together, we made 3 daffodils in total. After making our 3 flowers, we crayoned 3 more papers for our
borders and vase for the flowers to ‘sit’ in. This time, we had more options of colours such as red, blue,
violet, aqua, and more. We followed the same process as our flowers by dying them 3 times. When our
border and vase papers dried, we cut the border papers into strips. Some people did 2cm strips, and
others did 3cm strips to go for a more chunky thicker look.

The Room 1 girls were each given an A2 black paper to stick our artwork on.

We used our border strips and teared a piece off and stuck it down on our black paper using PVA glue.
We folded our dyed vase paper into the shape we preferred. Some people liked thin but tall vases, and
others like wide but short vases! We stuck our vase and flowers on our A2 paper with PVA glue and that
was our finished product! It was really fun creating this art project and it was super creative as well!
