We're learning about colour wheels... Here are some I found on the Internet. There's also analogous colours and..., contrasting (?) colours.

Term 3 Update - What's Happening With My Mask??? (19/8/08)
Today, I resumed what I had been doing with my mask. Mrs Vincent explained to us how to show texture, creating it with white 'paste' and paddlepop stick. Even though I'm not done paper- macheing, I'm looking forward to doing it soon.
I'd hoped I would be able to cut out a hole in the mask today, but I realised the bottom was still way too soft. So I glued on a few more layers. About FIVE, to be accurate!!!
I also started on my long- delayed ears. I traced my ear shape template to the cardboards. Mrs Vincent then helped me mask- taped them (actually, Mrs Vincent did all the work while I just gawked.) to the correct positions on my mask. With the ears, I mean one ear, now it looked much more like an actual animal mask!
Mrs Vincent told us that the last layer of paper- mache was to be white butcher paper, not newspaper. I still haven't finished this layer. Maybe I'll go to the art room tomorrow and work on my mask, especially my EARS!!!

What's Happening So Far in My Texture Task?!
For this Texture Task, many photos illustrating textures of different animals were found. There was a minimum of 6 animals, of which included the 3 chosen animals. This was to help with creating simulated texture or real texture on the mask later, showing our personality through colour, shape and lines. I found pictures of animals such as crocodile and chameleon, who had extraordinary skin.
Next, I had to explain verbally about the textures, explaining aspects such as the colours and shapes, and how they formed the animal skin. When the textures were all observed, it was time to plan the texture on maks. I drew the profile view, the back view and the front view of the mask. Mrs Vincent would give us more activities to help us with this process.
I am also finding some photos of how the animal's eyes and face is surrounded by the texture.
