Hi all!
ART graciously invited me to her school today and showed me her next project for 1st grade:
Howard Finster Animals!
These were ART's samples:
Process:
1. Use tempera paints to do dots on the paper using your fingers
2. Trace the animal on a piece of construction paper the complementary color to the colors used in step 1 & cut it out
3. Cut the animal out, use markers to decorate body (focusing primarily on one word)
4. Cut out leaves/grass and use markers to make the first pattern
5. Glue the animal and the grass to the paper
6. Use oil pastels to create patterns around the animal
I made a few samples of my own (to show the kids all the complementary color combinations...)
Here are a few of the Finster images this project was based on:
Then we crafted for a long, long time. This was some of the damage we made:
& the products made in the process:
Champagne Cork Mushroom:
Penguin Ornament for the Finster tree & the Finster tree:
ART made a gingerbread house out of cardboard. Then decided not to paint it like a gingerbread. So now it's just a house:
"Slobdrey"shrinky dink (for a necklace) & future cuckoo clock necklace on shrinky dink paper
fun photos of our materials:
& these are some fun hair clips that ART made me for Christmas:
See you tomorrow!
