Penguins

This is one of my students' all time favorite project so I do it every year!

We began by reading a book about penguins and discussing the word texture.

First graders colored with crayons and texture plates to create visual texture.



Painting the backgrounds was next. The kids used liquid watercolors to paint over the crayons.


They ended the class by drawing an iceberg with chalk pastels.



This week, first graders glued on a colored frame, cut and glued their iceberg and built a penguin.





Today was the final day for penguins. This is often a favorite day for first grade in the art room. I put out lots of supplies and let them just create!!  I love all of the different ways the penguins were decorated!
