2nd Grade Foam Print Owls

2nd Graders have just completed their foam print owls and they are absolutely adorable!!! 

First students used a plastic tool to spread brown paint on their paper to create a textured effect.
Next they used a variety of "leaf" colors and painted their entire paper with a rich variety of colors.

Students learned how to draw an owl and drew one on a piece of paper.  This image was traced onto a piece of foam and then students used brayers to roll paint on their foam and made two prints of their owls. 

While these were drying, leaves were cut out, veins made with oil pastels and trees were made using torn paper.  When the prints were dry, the owls were cut out and attached to their tree branches.  They are too cute for words.
