The Boy Who Looked Like.....

Oh thank goodness for a 4-day weekend!  The 100 follower giveaway is four days away, don't forget to enter. 

My teaching friend at school does one of the most funny art projects inspired by The Boy Who Looked Like Lincoln.  For President's Day we make our own version of this book.  We read the book and then think about something we love.  Then we draw a picture of ourselves as that object.  First we sketched with pencil, traced our pencil with sharpie, and then painted with water color.

 

We had Ice Cream Cups, Medusa, Lemons, Hearts, Flowers, Basketballs, Music, and all kinds of creative stuff.

Happy Friday,

Started but Not Finished

What a Wednesday!  We got a lot started, and will hopefully finish tomorrow.  Then all the "stuff" we have been collecting will be out of the room!

I was inspired by the book, An Artist's America, by Michael Albert.  First we have been collecting cardboard boxes....the cereal, macaroni, cracker type.  (They were everywhere!)  Then we hunted for all the letters needed for The Pledge of Allegiance.  I assigned each group a portion of the words and they had to find those letters.  Then we put them all together on a big piece of butcher paper.

The beginning of our collage.  Now that we have found all the letters, we can glue them down and all the fillers for between and around the letters.  (I think we will need more boxes.)









We also started a President's Day Craftivity.  Erica Bohrer has the cutest project for both George Washington and Abraham Lincoln!  And they flip...one side George, the other Abe!  Genius!!

Cut out the pieces.

Glue to two identical shapes together.

The George side.

Tomorrow (hopefully we will finish Abe and our collage).
Happy Wednesday,
Laurie
