Birdhouses

First grade students are ready for spring! In this project they learned about line and pattern and followed specific directions in order to draw, paint and decorate their bird houses. 

They also practiced a shading technique to give depth to their birds’ doorways. In the end, they learned about the power of suggestion and how to turn a picture into a “story with no words” by adding only one feather to their works... just where did that bird go?
