Japanese Art

This week in my home room we made  Japanese Art . First we had to dye some white paper blue to make it look like a sky back ground . Then we put a blob of black watery pain on the blue paper . We got a straw and blew on the black paint to spread it out  to look like branches of a tree . Next we dabbed pink spots on the branches with a cotton bud to look like blossom on a tree . When it was dry Mr Goodin put it on some black paper and wrote our name in Japanese writing on the side . I enjoyed dying the paper blue like the sky . It was hard blowing through the straw to spread out the black paint . Mrs C helped me .  I hope you like my Japanese Art .
