Beautiful butterflies everywhere! Second graders learned about organic shapes and what it means when a shape is symmetrical, like a butterfly. Students folded their large paper in half and drew half a butterfly. It is quite the challenge to get little ones to draw big! Once they were happy with their drawing, they traced over their lines with black tempera paint squeezed from a bottle and made a mono print. Next they added lines and designs to the wings with white oil pastel if they wished, and then painted with tempera cakes. Students could then add to the background with white oil pastel and finished by filling the page with paint. These turned out gorgeous! So proud of my second graders!
