Second grade learned about the migration of the monarch butterflies from North America to Mexico. They were fascinated that such a delicate butterfly could make that trip. We are also learned about the difference between geometric and organic shapes, symmetry and line of symmetry. Students each drew half their butterfly, made monoprints and learned how to blend oil pastels on the wings. We reviewed the difference between relief prints and monoprints. Lots of learning going on in art! The background was colored using texture plates and construction paper crayons while students patiently waited for their turn to print. They used their very best cutting skills to cut out their butterfly, put a line of glue down the body and decided where to best place it on the background.
