Mrs.Kelly’s Busy Bee 1.4

Hey guys! This week was super successful! With the extra week and the four day weekend, I found time to get into my mom’s classroom. To start, I gave my mom a couple pages full of bees I had drawn and let her pick. And of course, she picked the realistic one. So I copied it onto another paper by itself so it could be easier to put on a clear page. The next step was to get into the school and get the drawing on the wall. 

Here are the steps I took:

I drew the bee my mom wanted on it’s own page. 

My mom helped me transfer the drawing on to a clear page. 

I found a dusty projecter in the storage room and my mom and I made a red neck stand to get the image where she wanted it on the wall. 

I then traced the bee on the wall using just a pencil to get an outline. 

This is the final drawing from what I traced using the projecter. Don’t mind my fingerprints all over the wall. Oops. 

The biggest problem I ran into was getting the drawing to look the way I wanted it to. It’s still not perfect but I think once I get going on the painting part it’ll come together. I also talked to my mom about the yellow color she wanted and she told me to just use the color the wall aleady is, so that will cut down on some of the painting times, which is nice. This next week, I hope to get back into the school and start working on the black outlines! Good luck and have a great week!
