Ready... Set... Blow!!!

This probably gets you thinking, "What do you mean, ready, set, blow?"

Brydie's monsters have lots of colour.

In Room 13, we made some fabulous "blow ink" monsters. Each one is unique, and we are very proud of them. They are up on our class wall. Whenever I look at them, I always feel happy and unique, because their expressions and features make me smile.

This is how we made them:

• First, we watched Stefan Bucher (the person who invented the ink monsters) videos on his website, and we got lots of inspiration PLUS the videos made us laugh (A LOT)!!! 
• We got out some newspaper (to protect our desks) then we got a sheet of A3 paper, ink, an art pen, a pencil, a straw and a paintbrush.
• Then we painted some ink onto our paper.
• After this we blew through our straw and our boring ink puddles turned into unique ink blobs!!! This was my favourite part.
• To make them look like monsters, we added on arms, legs and facial features with our ink art pens. 



Gus's monster has lots of sharp teeth!!!








• Some of us added in colour to make our monsters exciting!

They were a lot of fun to make, and the process was very exciting (and very messy!). Everybody loves their monsters, and I'm sure you'll love them too!!!
