We took this week’s project sky high by creating a mixed media Foil Butterfly!

This week we expanded upon our drawing skill and added new mediums to the mix. This project used foil, transparency paper, and construction paper. We drew a butterfly on transparency, molded wings out of aluminum foil, then worked the martials together to create one beautiful piece. Just as a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly, we transformed our art skills by learning about collage and mixed media!

This project included:

• Imagining what colors our butterflies could be
• Creating our focal point- a butterfly
• Collaging three different materials
