Origami cats

Origami is the art of paper folding. As part of our art unit on mixed media we followed folding instructions and made a cats head. Next we placed the head on a sheet of paper and roughly drew the outline of its body. We used pastel crayons to create the effect of fur and coat markings and black felt pen to draw the whiskers and face. Come in to Room 6 and take a look at all our fantastic cats. No two cats look identical!

Now we have mastered this shape we plan to explore other folds.
