Whooo, Whooo....

The Kindergarten and Primer students are finishing up their last projects before they select one for the exhibit in December.  These owls will all be in the exhibit, they are fabulous!! They used a slab of clay, folded over an end, piniched a beak and used a variety of items to add texture.  After the owls were fired in the kiln (not kennel like a PreK said the other day!), they girls colored the owls with oil pastel and then painted them with black tempera, which we rinsed off.  They are amazing!  The idea for the oil pastel and tempera came from www.tartteaching.blogspot.com. 

 

I like the fact that the girls were not afraid to try different colors.  When the black paint was rinsing off, the girls were so excited to see the owl kind of appear!  Makes teaching art a joy......
