Lesson Descriptions
Be Like a Bee Collage
A collage in oil pastel and watercolor with painted paper cut out flowers on a blue tint sky. K-2nd
This lesson is a sure success for K -2nd with step by step instructions and a full bee reference drawing. It’s really fun to make and the kids love painting the bee stripes in watercolor or tempera. They use painted paper circle shapes for flowers as they learn about line, shape and color as elements of art. We also learn how to make a tint as we paint our light blue sky.
