1st Grade Flowers

This is a multiple step project. It took us about 3-4 weeks. It's worth it though. They turned out beautiful!

Step 1) Draw the case and table.

Step 2) Paint with tempera paint. (I allowed them choose only three colors.) Allow to dry.

Step3) Draw stems with a green oil pastel. Remind them to draw the same amount of stems as they plan to draw flowers. Outline vase and table with a black oil pastel.

Step 4) While the paint is drying, I have them begin their flowers. Draw the large flowers.

Step 5) Color flowers using tissue paper & water. Allow to dry.

Step 6) Cut out flowers, then glue to painting.

Step 7) Using colored modeling clay, add the center to the flower. (Hint: glue the modeling clay to the paper.)
