Nocturnal.

 

First Grade and I talked about what it means to be nocturnal.  We discussed how we do not see owls to often due to the time of night they are around.  We used pattern (something that repeats) and oil pastels and paint to create these nocturnal creatures.  The students are always amazed when they see the oil pastels show through their paint....actually I am too.

Owls of pattern.

Second grade drew owls along with me and then used crayon, oil pastel, and tempera paint to create pattern and color.  A little bit of depth through overlapping thrown in there as well.  It was a good one day activity!  Whoo!
