Art Exhibit



We have been learning about animals and their characteristics and the types of habitats they live in.  Last week we began an art project to showcase some of our learning.  First we did a wash on our paper.  When it was really wet we dropped two different colours onto it.  We then swirled the paint around so that it mixed mixed together. Once the paint was all mixed together we laid a piece of Saran Wrap over top of it and smoothed it down.  Then we let it dry.  While it was drying we chose one or two animals to cut out and glue on our habitat.  Some of us made an ocean habitat, some a desert habitat and some a forest habitat.  Can you guess which habitat is which?

  1. Leif told me he had so much fun doing this project! I am guessing that the brown/orange/yellow pictures are the dessert habitat? This looks like a fun way to incorporate science and art.

    1. Thanks for your comment! You are right, the yellow and orange one is the desert habitat. I'm glad Leif enjoyed the project. It was exciting to see and hear how much the students had learned about animals and their habitats. Stay tuned for our book. . . How Animals Adapt!
