What Presdents are Made of


 See what I mean?  MORE patriotic art.  I have to admit, these were so fun!  We read the book, What Presidents are Made of.  Then students traced the outline or silhouette of their president of choice (I only gave them 3 options).  After that, they painted a patriotic background in red, white, and blue.  The next week we painted our presidents using neutrals and skin-tone.  Finally, I let them loose with buttons, yarn, paper and fabric scraps, and other fun collage items to create their faces and other details.  The kids really seemed to enjoy making these and they came up with some creative ideas.  These were just a few of my early finishers.
