Lois Ehlert's Collage Birds

I borrowed this amazing project from Deep Space Sparkle. I know that there are tons of great art teacher blogs out there, and I am excited to get better acquainted with more this year. I have to say that Mrs. Knight's Smartest Artists and Deep Space Sparkle always leave me inspired and excited for my next project. Thank you Hope and Patty!

This project was a huge hit. We started by designing our collage paper, and then created the winter trees background. I made some templates of bird's heads, bodies, feathers, and tails that I put out on each table, but also encouraged artists to create their own birds. The final pieces are gorgeous, and remind me of my favorite Maine woods:)
