Year of the Snake Art

We are gearing up for the Chinese New Year - Year of the Snake!
I brought a pile of toy snakes instead of real ones :) for inspiration!
We discussed pattern today and what scales might look like on a real snake. Students used cut sponges dipped in paint to create their snake bodies!
Once they started dipping it was hard to stop!

The upper level painted segments of their snake in a pattern using q-tips....

Chinese New Year

A dragon project before we ring in the Chinese New Year; year of the snake!

This project took some great listening ears, cutting and folding skills.

We discussed pattern and line as well as different types of scales that we saw on the 

fish from last weeks project.
