1st Grade: Laurel Burch Cats

In first grade, we watched a YouTube video about Laurel Burch, then discussed her life struggle with sickness and breaking bones, and the color she used in her artwork. 

After doing a step-by-step drawing of a basic cat, they used black oil pastel to outline, then crayon to create fun designs.  After I instructed them to paint their cats with crazy and bold colors using watercolor, they cut out their cats, glued them on either maroon or blue paper, then used chalk to decorate the background.  They enjoyed experimenting mixing and blending the different chalks.
