K/1 Explore Bird Shapes and Forms

After adding some much needed birds to the pond mural in the hall, the K/1s looked at the shapes you would need to draw a large bird. Starting with half circles and triangles they each drew a bird, went over the lines with black crayon and added watercolor for a crayon resist. The results are completely engaging. This was followed by collaged birds with pivoting wings, involving multi-step directions, cutting, gluing and finally mounting on a stick to fly!
