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
Excellent project - and very relevant at the moment. This would be a popular one with the boys! :)Elizabeth
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth! The boys did love this project, and some have even told me that they are so happy they know how to make camouflage on their own!
DeleteFunny, I was just discussing making camo with my classes and you post it! I have done veterans, both young and old, in my classes, but not with camo. Excellent idea! I will do it, post it, and link back to you! Thanks so much!

Thanks! Can't wait to see the results!
DeleteHey, this above blog is really innovative. I can't ever seen this kind above blog. I am also a art teacher and I am always encourages my student to perform this kind of camouflage activities. I am always suggest them to makeup himself or other for growing their experience. That's why I send them Northampton Skin Camouflage for learn more about camouflage which is help them for growing their effectiveness in this sector.
