Surprise Creatures For the LAST ART DAY!

It's that time of year, when the art show is complete, and each class has about 1 more visit to the art room! What do you do for one class for 45 minutes?? Here's what we're doing! I found this neat little project on Instagram, from @Mrs_lynes_artists & @artwithmrs.e, and I wanted to try it out with my students as well! I'm going to try this with every grade except K & 5th. 5th could totally do this, but they have rocks to paint! 

As of now, 1st is going to do aliens, 2nd is going to do fish, 3rd can choose a trickier animal or person, and same goes for 4th.

Here are some little short videos, showing how we created ours! 

Materials:

9x12 piece of thin paper

pencils

Sharpie Markers

Something to color with!

Here's how you fold your paper and complete the initial drawing. They'll be drawing theirs with pencil, and tracing with Sharpie markers. 

Here's a time lapse video of me completing one

Here's a Boomerang of Mrs. Fitch's 2nd grade class

Here's one of her awesome artists, Tristen, showing off her Surprise Fish

You can do just about anything that has a mouth! People, dogs, cats, fish, aliens, bugs...whatever!

Here's Mrs. Torres' Class working on theirs!

in case you were wondering....this is a snake with mice in its mouth! The green cloud is a mouse toot! Grrrosss!!! haha

Mrs. Fambrough's class did an UH-Mazing job making their surprise creatures!! I don't think they've ever been so quiet! So much thought and creativity going in to these, and I couldn't be prouder! Hope you all have a fabulous summer!!
