Students drew a butterfly with a crayon in the middle of their paper then added simple designs on each side of their butterfly. We discussed mirror symmetry and how what you do on one side of the butterfly you have to do on the other. This really stumped some of my "think outside the box" students! I gave them paint and told them to be creative with their backgrounds. Some students wanted their butterflies to "pop" and some wanted to use every color of the pallette. I love seeing their personalities come out on paper!
About Me
- Sara
- My name is Sara and I am an art teacher at a small elementary school in the Sunshine State. I teach Kindergarten through fifth grade students. I believe arts education is an integral part of a child's success in school and in life. Students take home more than projects they've completed. They come home with confidence, passion, curiosity, and most importantly, "life".
