Before the bell rings…do the following Pick up a brown piece of paper Have a pencil ready Pick out a pair of scissors you want to use at your table Be ready to fold, cut and paint! Lyon

Today We folded our paper to create a lot of overlapping triangles Then we wrote our name on it(last, first, or initials) Making sure each letter touched the top & bottom of the page and connecting each letter to each other This way when we cut it, the name will stay together We cut out our name so we had the repeating pattern of our name If you were not here, get help from a friend(always ask 3 before me, there are more of you than there are me) Now what? Lyon

Color Review Warm colors: Red, Yellow, Orange Cool Colors: Green, purple, blue Question? Lyon

Pick a color Pick warm colors to paint on your name Hint: use a piece of paper are cardboard behind your name while you paint, so you don’t get paint on the desk(that’s never fun to clean-up) – pick up your painting though so it doesn’t dry to the paper – put it on the drying rack instead After you have painted your name mandala find a piece of cardboard that will be your background Hint: Make sure it is big enough for your name mandala Paint that with a cool color Lyon
