For this project, students began by simply discussing owls and their habits. This included the sounds they make, where they live, what they eat, and the amazing fact that they can turn their heads completely around! To continue to develop their fine motor skills, student’s traced round plastic lids to create circles for the owl’s eyes. Then, we used watercolors to practice painting inside the lines. During the next lesson, students where tasked with recalling the shape of a square and rectangle, and then gluing down multiple colored pieces as the owl feathers. They were asked to cover their whole paper, so their owl would not get cold during winter! Finally, students completed their owls with triangular beaks and pupils in the eyes.
These beautiful works of art are currently on display in Kathy Stanton’s office, so be sure to check them out when you are in our main office!
