This term I was creating a portrait of myself. I crayoned my hair black and drew the St Patrick's t-shirt. I gave myself a big smile because I was enjoying myself. I made my hair short and I made my eyes dark brown. The next day our teacher told us to get our writing book and describe our feelings in a blurb.
Then we wrote about our feelings. When we were writing about our feelings we described an action through our words. My favourite blurb was "When I feel confused, I put my hat on my head."
Our teacher made sure that we shaded our portraits nicely and didn't show white paper. We did some lines to describe our feelings with a white wax crayon. Then we had to dye the whole page with blue dye and we could see our feelings come through. It was like magic.
