Gr 5/6 ~ Personality Pinwheels

The Grade 5/6 students have started the year off by creating some 'Personality Pinwheels'. These are a great way for students to get to know each other and look fantastic once completed!

We started by drawing some simple pinwheel lines on a square piece of paper. In the first space, students wrote their first name.


Students then talked with one another about words that would describe them, their personalities and the things they like/enjoy. In every second space, students then wrote these words. To fill up the remaining spaces, we added a variety of lines and patterns.


The students were encouraged to use analogous colours when colouring their artworks. Analogous colours are colours that are found next to each other on the colour wheel - they usually match well and are harmonious and pleasing to the eye.


Here are some of the completed artworks - they look so eye catching on display in the Art room!
