In Kindergarten and 1st grade we read the book The Little White Owl by Tracy Corduroy. The story is about a little owl with a big imagination and a lot of confidence. This story opened up discussion about animal habitats and nocturnal animals.
We began by drawing the owls and painting them in many colors and patterns. The background was painted separately on black paper. We discussed that they should only paint part of the tree to have a zoomed in point of view.
Cutting the owls out took a little cutting skill review and the students took on the challenge. The owls were collaged onto the backgrounds and oil pastels were added. I love the results and the opportunity to cover many visual arts standards in one project.
