Soldiers & Camouflage

2nd Grade Soldiers

2nd grade soldiers

Day 1 painted free form shapes

I drew this on the back of the students' 12x18 painted camouflage paper

Veteran's day is coming up next weekend, so to show our support in 2nd grade the students made their very own soldier. Day 1: we drew free form shapes that attached and then painted everything in with our color scheme of green, brown, black & tan. On day 2 I had drawn lines (see above) on the back of the students paper. They cut out the pieces, chose a skin tone and began to construct their soldier. Some made their dad, grandpa, aunt, uncle and even moms can be soldiers too! Some students added a name tag, stars, rank, flags and buttons. I'm sure the Veteran's who come to our celebration will enjoy seeing these up in the hall.

Supplies:

12X18 heavy paper

thin brushes

green, brown, black & tan paint

construction paper in skin tones

scrap box of paper to make small things
