This is my hexagon art.I used a protractor and a compass to do the outlines and then used pastels to color it. The thing I like best about it is the repeating colors. I would try a totally different pattern next time.

Holiday Reading #2 - Choose your Own
Book title: How to Train your Dragon
Author- Cressida Cowell
Author- Cressida Cowell
My choose your own is about creating my own dragon. The original book is so different from the movie, in fact, they actually capture a dragon when they're young and tame it. I'm currently reading Eragon, as well.
My own dragon:
Color - Gray/Silver/Violet
Favorite part: Wings
Special Points: Spikes in a line all the way from head to toe, a huge spiked ball at the tip of its tail, transparent and messy wings.
