First Grade Butterflies













First Graders had a lot of fun creating butterflies in art class after learning about them in homeroom. We began by watching The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and studying his collage technique. We made some specialty papers just like him using primary colors to create the secondary colors. Students loved using the paint, fold, and open approach to create a symmetrical butterfly.  I love the look of surprise on their faces as they opened their papers!
