Students are learing about symmetry and organic shapes. They folded their 12"x18" paper in half and drew just half their butterfly. They used tempera paint in bottles to trace over their lines, then folded the paper to make a monoprint. Oh, the applause and the oohs and ahhs when I demonstrated this! They could hardly contain their excitement everytime someone in their group pulled their print and there was an amazing butterfly! The next week we added some details with white oil pastel and painted with tempera cakes. The results...just beautiful! I'll be repeating this project for a while.
