Safari Day!!

Every year the first grade goes on safari around the school.  In their classrooms they discuss different animals of the grasslands, including elephants, cheetahs, zebra, giraffe and lions.  For safari day I transform our hallways into a jungle, and this year we created some artworks inspired by the animals they study!

In this class we discussed the importance of recycling and discussed different examples of recycled art.  We used cardboard boxes and tubes to create our zebra as a class.

This class worked together to create painted papers for our mural.  We discussed texture and the other elements of art to create our animals.

The zebra didn't last too long before he fell apart- but he looked cute relaxing here...
