Happy Chinese New Year's!

      New Year's is over, but Chinese New Year's is still going on.  For this year, Chinese New Year's Day is on Jan. 23.  The celebrations last for about 2 weeks.  This year is the Year of the Dragon.  In twelve years it will be the Year of the Dragon again.  It goes in a cycle.  I was born in the Year of the Horse. 
      Today I went to Chinatown and watched the lion dance.  It was so loud from the beating of the drums and fire crackers that I could not hear what my mom was saying.  It was really fun but loud.  My mom got to take some good pictures.  Here are a couple pictures and the Chinese Zodiac.  Find out what animal you are.

My Bunny Pinch Pot

A couple days ago I had art class.  I started making a pinch pot out of clay. A pinch pot is made out of clay and is pinched into a form of a pot. You also can form it into a cup or a bowl.  I made two small pinch pots and made it into a jar.  Anyways I think my pot turned out really good.  The next time I had art class I started adding in details to my pot to make it a animal.  I decided to make it a bunny.  This is my sketch.
