Textures Art Activity

While my class has been in lock down, my teacher has been setting us fun and exciting tasks for school. One of them was to find a art activity or colouring sheet and do it, then post it on your blog. So here I am doing that. What I decided to do was this textures worksheet that I found on one of my teachers blogs. I thought that it would be fun to try draw different textures that I hadn't tried before, one thing I was particularly excited about doing was the snake skin as I thought it would be quite intriguing to try and draw. But for most of the other boxes and circles I added my own spin onto the topics.
For example, for the horse fur I did zebra fur as a zebra is still practically a horse. And for the "make this ball look like a rock", I did stone bricks, the only big difference is that there are multiple rocks instead of one like the instructions said. One of the main reasons I chose to do this sheet, was because of how it looked. Don't ask me why, I have no idea. Anyway here's what it looks like.
On the page It had 5 boxes and three balls to draw the textures in. It also had two questions to answer about texture. The first one was what is texture? My answer to that was...
Texture is the feeling or appearance of a substance or surface. The second question was, how can we draw textures? And I wrote down "by using different shades and shapes". I really enjoyed doing this sheet. It was super fun to draw all the textures and to think about how the textures were going to look. I actually learnt a lesson doing this sheet, that it's okay to twist the rules around a bit to let your creativity flow and break the obstacles in your path of art. I really recommend that you try out this activity sheet too, if you like drawing then I guarantee that you'll find it as fun as I did!☺️

How To Make Feijoa Juice

Prep time: 15 minutes

Serves: 8 glasses

Ingredients:
11 feijoas
2 tablespoons of sugar
1 ½ tablespoons of honey
2 cups of water

Method:
1. Start by picking out your feijoas. I used eleven but if you want your drink to be thinner or thicker
then you can change up the ratios.

2. Next cut your feijoas in half, then use a spoon to scoop out the pulp from the inside.
You can put them straight into the blender but I preferred putting them into a small bowl.

3. Once you’ve finished scooping out all the pulp, tip them into your blender - unless they were already in there - and add the water, sugar and honey.

4. Turn on the blender, checking it every now and then to see if everything is combined.

5. Once the mixture is smooth and no lumps of feijoa pulp is left, pour into a bottle or jug and put into the fridge until served.

6. Enjoy! Serve with ice cubes and a sprig of mint.

Tips:
1) Double the mixture if you are wishing to make a large batch, blend for longer.

2) Feel free to dilute the drink with one part juice on part water if you are used to subtle drinks.

3) Use a serrated knife to cut the feijoas in half, and a medium sized spoon to scoop out the pulp.

4) When you first start blending the drink, do it with the pulse option then move onto the other continuous ones.
