Collaborative art project

The high school is putting on the play The Wizard of Oz.  The director of the play asked if my art students could help make the flowers for the poppy scene. Of course! Kindergarteners got to paint a paper any color they liked and I told them the 1 st graders would be using their art to make a flower. 

The next week the 1 st graders were given a colored piece of paper, a tray of colorful scraps,  and oil pastels. They were given instructions to use their imaginations to create a flower and two leaves. 

In the end, around 200 flowers were created in all shapes and sizes for the play. It was a great collaborative effort and I just love how different they turned out. Be sure to make it to the play to see all the flowers and the talent of Becker students!
