![]() ![]() Now a lot of times when you do a kite, you’ll see that there’s only one tail and it’s right in the middle. OK, so we’re coming around the edge here. You could fly it without coloring it, but it’s a lot more fun to color it, and the other thing that we want you to do is to write your name on the back, because even though you colored it yourself, it could look a lot like someone else’s, and so we want to make sure that you get your own because you don’t want to lose your work. And so, our goal is for you to get done so that you can fly your kite. So, if we have time before we see you – because we’re going to do this project at the park during the summer – we’re going to cut these out for you because it takes a long time to cut them out, and it takes a long time to color them. We’re just going to cut all around the outside line. You know, kites need to be a certain shape to fly, and then the other thing they need to fly is they need to have a tail. It’s not really part of the butterfly, but nobody will know but us. Now I left this little part right here and I think I’m going to color that yellow and I left that because I think that’s going to make it fly better. There’s not really any way to do it wrong, except if you don’t do it. So, you’ll be able to look at all the different ones and get some ideas on how you want to color your butterfly because, you can color it as I said any way you want because it’s your artwork. Amazing, just beautiful, beautiful wings they have. They have some amazingly beautiful butterflies. And then you’ll see butterflies from other parts of the country, and you’ll see butterflies from other countries. If you look on the Internet and you type in butterflies, you’ll see butterflies from Oregon. There are millions of kinds of butterflies. I’m going to do both sides the same because I want this to look pretty much like a real butterfly. When you cover the whole thing with little circles, and sometimes it’s easier to stay in the lines and to stay in a small area if you use little circles, it just makes it easier to control it. And it looks very smooth when you do that. If you want it to look really smooth, you can do little tiny circles like this. You can just scribble it on like I’m doing. So, you can do it however you want.Īnd so, there are a lot of different ways to color. Now when you do your butterfly, you can color it anyway you want, and you don’t have to make both sides exactly the same because it’s your artwork and it’s your kite. So, we’ll just start here, and we’ll color this. And I’m thinking I want something with something really bright there that I haven’t used, maybe green, I haven’t used green. So, what I’m going to do is I’ve got to color these two spaces and these two spaces. That might be a something evil that’s going to eat me. And so, we want to try to make our butterfly look as good as we can and what is the reason they have these little dots? A lot of butterflies have these little dots on them, and they look kind of like eyes and we think that is the reason that they have these spots on them it looks like eyes to keep predators – which would be somebody who wanted to eat and kill a butterfly – to leave them alone because if you saw this eye in the jungle, you might think, I’m not going after that. Because when you see a butterfly, if you look at the left side and the right side, they do look exactly the same. ![]() I’ve colored this so that this side and this side look exactly the same. And we will also have a sample that doesn’t have any color on it that you can print off and make your own kite.īut what we’re going to do today is we’re going to finish coloring this now. So, I’ve drawn my kite on this piece of paper here, and we’re going to put the sample of this on the Internet. We’re going to make a kite that looks like a butterfly.
