Kindergarten has been working so hard on these beautiful watercolor resist owls. I absolutely LOVE the colors that they chose for the backgrounds and think they did a wonderful job on all of the beautiful details.
2nd graders also created owls but used a printmaking technique to create prints of their owls. Students drew their owls into foam and then I showed them how ink is rolled over the foam with a brayer and rubbed onto paper to create prints.
The trees were made by painting a variety of browns onto a paper and then dragging a plastic scraper across the paper to scrape lines into the wet paint. This painted paper was then pressed onto another piece of paper and when it was removed, it created a beautiful faux-wood look. Once dry, the paper was torn to create a deckled edge and glued down to their backgrounds, where they attached their owls and oil pastel/watercolor leaves.
There were a lot of steps involved but I think it was well worth it.
