I knew students would be finishing their projects at different times this week.  Some would need a short project to fill the hour.  Fellow art teacher, Carol Cormier, shared this project.  I knew it would be just perfect!  Students first drew a tree with some leaves, then cut shapes from various papers.  They glued these down and turned used a Sharpie marker to turn them into birds.  I was surprised how excited they were to try this.  I love how adventurous they got with their shapes.
