GEOMETRY IN CHRISTMAS - POSTCARDS CONTEST

We are going to do something for Christmas. We will work with SYMMETRY in a radial way, to create stars like SNOWFLAKES to paste them later on a Christmas Postcard and participate on a CONTEST.

*MORE IDEAS FROM HANNAH: LINK.

TASK:

You will have to create different snowflakes, different sizes and forms and paste them on the cardboard and decorate it as a Xmas postcard. You can do as many snowflakes as you want and we will paste some of them on the windows inside the classroom and the highschool too.

DEADLINE:

You will have to give me your postcard (to the art teacher) the second day we are going to be working in class or if you want to finish it at home during the next puente, give it to me next 9th of December at 12:45h at he Art Department (don't forget to write your name at the back cover).

MARK:

You will have a mark and, if it is really good done, you can participate in the contest. There will be a prize for the best Christmas Postcards! You will also have a positive mark if it is chosen ;)
