Blossom Parade

I went to the blossom parade with my friends and it was really enjoyable. Up above is my Fotobabble it talks about the specific photos, it is a great app.The theme of the blossom parade was "Great Things Grow Here". There were schools, businesses and many more participating in the parade. Parkvale was even doing it. They were marching. My favourite was a float that had flowers made of colourful crepe paper. I saw lots of people that I knew and they gave me some lollies. I was really looking forward to the foam at the end. For once the man squirted the foam at me for at least about 5 seconds.My clothes were saturated at the end but it was worth it. It was enjoyable time at the blossom parade.

Hope you enjoyed!

Here is the description I was saying in the QR code.

My art is called Tree Seasons. It is 4 small canvases that have a tree spreading throughout all the seasons. The tree is a blossom tree and I love the colour of the flowers so that represents me. I chose this piece of art because it was challenging for me and I liked the look of it. The process of making it was a long process, I had to blend my canvases, draw my tree, Paint my tree and paint my leaves with cotton buds. There were tricky bits of that process. One of them was blending the colours. I had heaps of challenges during the time I made the art, especially when I messed up and I had to wipe the paint of my canvas. Some of the background rubbed off to so then I had to remake the same colour. That was hard!! One of my special features was having 4 different canvases which made my art easy to split into 4 pieces.

I am really proud of my art because I took great care with it.
