Last month, 3rd grade started this little project, after I was inspired by the Instagram post of the incredible art teacher, Ms. Rogers! You can check out her IG here! I believe they painted their backgrounds, but since we're still art on a cart this year, we had to improvise!
Here's how we created ours!
Materials:
Pencils
Day 1: We draw our bees together. I do a little directed drawing, then we trace with Sharpies, and color with crayons. After they draw their bees, they can get started tracing their hexagons to make the background!
(some liked the cardboard tracers better than the plastic, btw)
After we filled up our paper with hexagons, we colored with pastels! We colored with brown and orange lightly, and then colored with yellow very dark, so they looked beautifully blended.
After they colored, they cut out their bees and glued them on!
Stay tuned for some more awesome art!
