The k/1s are studying Antartica and with that the penguins who inhabit that cold region. In art class they are integrating skills acquired in the two previous exercises. Their bird projects showed them how to see basic shapes and put them together to create a more complex form. Their bird wings gave them experience in cutting, tearing and gluing to achieve a more realistic feathery quality. Now they have drawn penguins by putting together a circle and an oval, and covering the form with small torn pieces of black and white paper resembling the dense feathers of the penguins. These will be cut out and placed on a background mural of the Antarctic.
