1: Art is a Hoot!

The first graders started the year off with owls that required them to use their imagination quite a bit. I showed them step-by-step how to draw an owl, but then the students had to use their imagination to create interesting designs for their owl feathers. Next, the students learned about warm and cool colors and the mood they can evoke. The students then used either warm or cool colors to make their owls really pop.
