This lesson is the same premise as the Georgia O'Keefe chalk flowers. I love Mrs. Picasso's blog and got the idea for the birds from her. We followed the same instructions as the flowers only we viewed bird photographs beforehand. Part of the assignment was to incorporate the bird's habitat so we looked at pictures of all types of birds and talked about what their environment might be like for that all-important science link. They really turned out beautifully and the kiddos LOVED them.
I'm an art teacher in Atlanta, Georgia. I teach elementary school but have taught art to children of all ages. Please enjoy my lessons. I hope they are useful to parents and teachers!
