TEXTURED OWL COLLAGE

Our youngest Art students learned texture is the way something feels. They collaged an owl full of actual texture. Bodies were made from torn fluffy pieces of brown and gray-colored papers layered upon each other. Large eyes were created with folded, colored, candy paper wrappers, which popped wide open and featured soft foam, colored circle centers for irises, and black marker pupils. Beaks and feet were produced with smooth orange construction paper.  

In celebration of Memorial Day, students learned to draw Liberty, which stands for freedom in America, a concept for which our war heroes gave their lives.

Students drew Liberty's portrait and learned to work with colored chalk pastels to bring her to life as she looks today.

Capturing a moment in colored pencils or crayons, second graders realistically drew and colored a variety of birds of their choice.They learned a few coloring techniques to help blend colors together in a realistic way and to fill an entire page with color.
