In honor of Arbor Day- Wolf Kahn - Crayon Resist

Arbor Day

This is a very special date on our calendar. It is a day when young and old are encouraged to plant and care for trees. It usually happens on the final Friday in April. The customary observance is to plant a tree. On the first Arbor Day, April 10, 1872, an estimated one million trees were planted.

Animal Puppets

I will be able to use material to create form and texture in a piece of artwork.

Follow along with Mrs.Cornell as she shows you how to fold the paper!

Step 1: Use crayons to color in your animal. Try to practice pushing the crayon harder for a darker color, and layering the colors to create a blend. Please put your name on the back of your animal.

Step 2: Use scissors to cut out your animal. Try to practice going slow and making small cuts when your turn around corners.

STOP! Make sure your space is clean of paper scraps AND that you have your name of the back of each piece of your animal.

Step 3: Glue the folded paper onto the back edge of each side of the animal. This step is to be done with Mrs.Cornell.
