Earth Day Prints

We used recycled newspapers and found objects to print a mandala for Earth Day.

First we used chalk to create a circular pattern of color on the newspapers. Quite messy. 

Then we used white paint and recycled objects (glue lids, plastic forks, popsicle sticks...) 

to print a repeat circular pattern.

The finished art is beautifully abstract. 

Clay Frogs

We used air dry clay to create clay frogs for the rain forest themed learning fair. 

After forming our clay frogs, we let them dry for a week then used tempera paint to paint them.

After painting, mod podge was used to create a shiny finish.
