First grade has created birds for the world of folk art. This project was a combination of tempera painted bird shapes with multimedia details for the feathers, claws, beaks, etc.
My key objective for this project was to *create patterns (not just the shape of the bird). The first graders took a day to paint the bodies of their birds with thick patterns and colors. I love the colors they used! After the paintings were dry, students added their multimedia (coffee filters, feathers, buttons, beads, pipe cleaners, gems...)
*folk art usually has fun personalized patterns
