Feb update!

Hello art goers!
Sorry it has taken so long to update! I have been busy with subbing, getting sick and of course teaching art so I have been negligent in updating my blog! I finally posting my art and crafts projects from Feb! Now I am gearing up for Saint Patrick's Day and Spring! If you have any ideas for Saint Patty's Day or Spring, please leave a comment below! Thanks! Peace!

Chinese New Year:
Tiger paintings ( orange, black, yellow tempra paint and paper) We painted tigers since it was the Year of the Tiger!
Tiger masks: ( tempra paint and paper plates) The students painted a tiger face on the plates using the tempra paint. The students will need adult help with the next part! I cut holes for eyes and on the sides for string!
Chinese Lanterns ( red paper and gold paint) Before, the teacher should fold the red paper in half and draw the lines using a ruler. Draw a line across the top where the fold is. Then measure lines vertically across the paper about an 1 in apart! The students should cut the vertical lines stopping when the reach the top line. Then, they will open it and decorate the lantern w/ the gold paint! Then wrap the edges together and staple it so it stays together! Last, you can add a handle!
Dragon 1 ( paper, paint and brads) The students color or paint the dragon! Then, the strudents will cut out the dragon and the legs. The teacher will punch holes for legs using a hole puncher and attach the legs! Now you have a dragon for the parade!
Dragon 2 ( red paper, dragon face and paint)- The students will paint the face of the dragon. Then cut strips of red paper and staple them. Make rings that interwined with each other for the dragon's body! Then, make smaller rings for the tail part. Also, you can add fore and back legs! Last, fold a paper over accordian style to attach the dragon's head to the body! Enjoy!

Valentine's Day
Bumblebees- ( tolietpaper roll, yellow and black paper, black pipe cleaners ) First, the students will cover the toliet paper roll in yellow paper. Then cut out black strips of paper and glue them on evenly on your bee! Then you add eyes and smily face! If you want you use add the black pipe cleaners for antennas! Ask someone to beee yours!
Heart mobiles-( paper, glue, ribbon) The students will trace and cut out three different size hearts. Next, let the students decorate and add valentine messages on them! Then use a hole puncher to punch a hole at the top and bottoms of the hearts. Connect the hearts using the string and hang them up!
Heart wreaths- (paper, decorations, glue, ribbon) The students will cut out different size hearts and decorate them. Next, have the students glue the hearts in a heart shape! Perfect gift for family and friends!
Valentine Cards-( paper, doilies, stickers, ribbon) The students can use the decorations and make their own valentine's day card!
