K/1s Paint Birds

Continuing the theme of making a shape into something specific, the K/1s listened to the book, Mouse Shapes, by Ellen Stoll Walsh and then looked at the shapes you would need to draw a bird. Starting with half circles and triangles they each drew a large bird, went over the lines with black crayon and added watercolor for a crayon resist. The results are completely engaging.
