1st Grade Toucans

This project took about three to four weeks, with 45 minute classes. I printed samples of Toucans for the students to observe from. I love Google Images!

1. Day One: With directed drawing and observing their photos, they drew the outline of their toucan.
2. We then painted the head yellow, and the body black.
3. Day Two: They used oil pastels to fill the background in with brightly colored leaves and flowers.
4. Day Three: We painted the leaves with green watercolor, and the background with blue watercolor.
5. The final step was to use chalk to blend the colors of the beak as realistically as possible.
