The first week of the new project the kids had no idea what our theme of this project would be. We simply began by creating the background for the new project. Using pre-cut squares of turquoise and magenta tissue paper, we stuck them to the paper using only water and a paintbrush. As the water touched the tissue paper, it caused the dye in the tissue paper to run and color the paper. As you overlapped the two colors you also started seeing purple. When the majority of the paper was covered we put them in the drying rack. The next week we were able to peel the tissue paper right off the white paper and toss it in the garbage and Whoa-La! we had a beautiful background to create our picture on.
Now we began our discussion about Cardinals and the difference between male and female cardinals and their characteristics. After our discussion we started by gluing on a branch and little sticks. Using simple shapes we created our cardinals. The very last step was to sponge a bit of white snow for the final touch.
