ART for 1170

I finally have finished my master's research paper. It has been a very long haul, but worth it. I wanted to share a project that we started last week with the Basic Plus class.  The students created painted paper in red and green, added some shiny glitter too.  This week we cut the papers into leaf and petal shapes and glued them down on festive red paper. I found some pretty cream beads to add to the center of the flowers. Love how these turned out!

Oops, trying to get fancy with photo placement and it's not working. Anyway I am looking back on the last few lessons and the answer is YES, I am flower crazy this spring.  Kindergarten used Purple and yellow paint to create iris'.  They get to see first hand what happens when these complimentary colors mix and a review of symmetry.  We painted one side and then folded the prefolded paper so it prints on the other side, a magic moment for kinders. The next week we drew and then cut out the leaves and applied. We could have just drawn the stems and leaves but I felt we needed to practice more cutting. I do have another flower lesson to share soon. Stay tuned! and HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!
