I've gotten a little behind on blogging lately but I will try to catch up! :)
A few weeks ago, second graders made these wonderful owls. We were learning about different types of lines and how we can use them in art. In a guided drawing, students drew their owl step by step, and then adding whatever lines they wanted inside their owl. I encouraged them to draw a great variety of lines.
Next they traced their lines with oil pastels. Actually, the first few of my classes used oil pastels, but the last couple classes, I had them use black crayon. It was less messy and had about the same effect.
I gave back most of their paintings before I took pictures of the finished product. Oh no! I will try to find some I haven't given back yet. :)
Next, they painted their owls with watercolors. I went over how to use watercolors with them and how to properly treat their paintbrush. They really liked these and I think they turned out perfect.
