Spring was a season used often in our group projects this semester. You can probably tell that this spring (2013) has been quite depressing. There has been a lot of snow and cold days. However, my classmates hopes didn't die when we once again had the spring into spring idea tossed at us in class.

This project used crayons and paint to accent powerful colors to make beautiful flower designs. A big point of this lesson was to use appropriate colors and paints. We were instructed to completely color a sheet of paper in hopes to make it look like a flower as our final work. Here is mine!

I chose to use these strong colors, with the attempt to have a cool middle to my flower. I found out that my coloring skills are not very good when the black water paint awkwardly filled in the gaps of my project.

I way I would use a project like this is in the classroom would be to first identify flowers around the town of the school I am located in. Then to get familiar with them I would ask my students to design the sheet of paper to explain the flower. This could be fitting for a life science class.
