Bringing spring on

3/4/2015

My daughter and I just finished a bright and happy art project with her daughter's first grade class of 25 children.  It was a cold and rainy afternoon when we completed the second of two days creating a spring garden mural approximately 10 feet long. 

The children did all the work; we just provided the backdrop paper and the ideas to copy (or they invented their own).  The children drew their creations with pencil and outlined them with black washable markers. After that was done, they colored them with oil pastels and smoothed the colors with baby oil on Q-tips.  After the oils had dried, they then cut out their beautiful butterflies, birds, flowers, clouds and even a little sun to paste onto the scenic mural of garden grasses that they had painted.  They took turns painting the garden backdrop and finishing the little garden creatures to go on to the backdrop and they all traded places so everyone was able to participate.  When they were finished with all the pieces, they each pasted their little creations on to the mural.  All together it made a wonderful bright reminder that spring is right around the corner.  I recommend this as a class project where everyone can contribute to a fun and creative project.
