This week, 1st grade will be starting their painted paper owl project, inspired by the Painted Paper blog!
I love this lesson! A. because I love owls! Hootie Hooo! Go Chi O! & B. It incorporates a lot of different skills, and different types of media!
Here's how we made ours!
Materials:
scissors
pencils & sharpies
First, we'll watch the book Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on Youtube. (You can purchase it on Amazon as well.) We'll discuss the texture of the owl in the book, and then I'll demonstrate how to paint their paper. They'll be using gray (for the branches) and the 2 colors of their choosing for their owl. We'll also add a large star to the back ground and smaller stars around it.
Day 2: We'll draw our owl parts, branches, and cut them out. When those are glued on, we can add our leaves!
Here's a short video of me demonstrating how to draw, cut out, and glue your owl on your paper.
Here's a clip of how to paint your feathers
Here's a little Bommerang video of me stamping the leaves!
Stay tuned for some awesome art!
