You will be working on your mail art piece this week. Read the directions carefully and put it in your mailbox to go out by Friday.
Below is another example. Mrs. Simmons completed this for us. The first image is what I sent her, and the second is what she did with the same instructions that I sent you all. Have fun with it!
Look also at the examples from the last blog for more ideas.
Mrs. Simmons' example is really interesting and I love the little birds. Seeing another example of how to darken the letters while still having a creative background really helps me think of more ways to decorate mine.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is really cool how Mrs. Simmons used her postcard and created a piece that is almost unrecognizable from the first. I especially like how she used shading to make the ribbon pop.
ReplyDeleteI love Mrs. Simmons' example! I love the colors she used and the little birds she added, it looks like spring! I like looking at these examples because it helps give me an idea for my piece and what they should look like.
ReplyDeleteI really like the example Mrs. Simmons sent in because the birds give it a very fun and springy tone.
ReplyDeleteI love how creative Mrs. Simmons was with it, she had very little to work with but she made it work out and made it look really beautiful - Josh
ReplyDeleteMrs. Simmons was very creative with this postcard art. It really cool to see how much of a difference it makes. The colors are really pretty with the spring.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Simmons did an amazing job on this because she used a variety of shapes and colors and detail to make this piece of art look perfect.

This is very good and once it would be put on the whole picture it would really stand out. I'm looking forward to what ours will look like when it is done
ReplyDeleteMrs Simmons did an incredible job on her piece. I really like how she used pencil on the ribbon and shaded it to make it look realistic. Her birds are also very pretty and remind me of spring time. Overall she did a great job and was so creative.
ReplyDeletei think this project is a very good idea to see how everyone's different styles will be put together into one piece
ReplyDeletei love the creative designs of the birds. And i am still wondering how i can make mine unique.

ReplyDeleteI really like what she did with the birds here. I like how it shows peace and I like how the birds represent hope
ReplyDeletei am glad she showed how to darken the places where the x is. it helps me know how to do the same thing on mine. i like all the colors and the way she shaded her designs. the birds also are very cute and and go well with the verse it represents- peyton
ReplyDeleteSeeing her piece was a great example on how i should darken the post card and showed me a gist of what kind of things should be on it. i really loved what she came up with. mallory moody
ReplyDeleteI really like this example because while a lot is going on, it's not too much to overwhelm. The birds are a nice touch as well.

DeleteI really like the birds mainly. I didn't really see them at first glance but then I did and i thought it looked really cool. - Truett
ReplyDeletei really like Mrs. Simmons piece. She made it look like the part of the letter is almost 3D which is very cool. It was good to see another example to help me with mine.

ReplyDeleteMrs. Simmons peace is very creative and cool with all of the detail and color. It is cool to see how someone can turn such a simple, small thing and make is this large scale complex piece of art.

ReplyDeleteI love Mrs. Simmons example. i like how the birds colors match with the colors in the letter. and how the background is very unique.
ReplyDeletei like the idea. it seems like a cool puzzel and im excited to see how it turns out.

ReplyDeleteMrs. Simmons' idea was very unique. How she was able to turn that piece of small information given into a great idea full of great imagery is amazing. The background contrasts very good from the picture of the birds, leaving the birds to pop out at you.
