BIRDS
In an effort to do projects that are less cookie-cutter, I have been working on giving students more choice in their art. So this project came about because there are SO MANY BIRDS circulating on pinterest. I printed out all the "how-to" drawing pages plus posted a ton of bird images on my smartboard screen to inspire the kids. They were allowed to choose one bird to draw - emphasis on one bird, drawn well, with plenty of details. Then they got to choose their paper size - 9x12, 12x18, or 12x15. They drew their birds in pencil, traced them in glue, then colored with chalk. I laminated them. NEXT year I will buy some extra Elmers Gel Glue - they made the most aaaaamazing shiny lines. I had 4 bottles sitting around that some of them used. I bet you can tell which ones!
