Third Grade Makes "Wild Thing" Monsters

Our Third Grade Classes have been writing stories in Computer Class with Ms. Blandford. I thought "What a cool idea, lets take it to the next level"! We used our stories to create cool collage monsters. After we created our monsters we cut them out and then put them on black paper. We added all sorts of details using our oil pastels. Super fun!!!

3rd Grade Collage Birds with Handmade Paper

Third Grade created their own paper by painting and using visual texture. Each student then cut trees, leaves, and birds from the painted paper. They really did a great job and the birds look beautiful!
