Southwestern Succulents


November was a crazy month, and the art room has been so jam packed with projects I haven't had much time for posting. But now that they are concluding and making their way up on the walls, here's what the little birds have been working on...

So this Fall / Winter I decided to go with a Southwestern theme.

A few years ago on our anniversary, the hubby and I took a trip to Terlingua, and every year around this time I am reminded of the beautiful colors of the desert, so inspired this unit.

1st grade worked on a Succulent Garden.

They started with a line drawing on black paper.


Covered their drawings in a glue resist.

Colored their pictures with a variety of chalk.

And got a huge kick out of seeing their final pics get sprayed fix.

The end results were so prickly pretty!
