Fox in the Snow
This workshop was inspired by a fox collage by Paige Balcer. You can see it here: http://lookaway.typepad.com/look_away/2009/02/woodland-creatures.html
We began by blowing white paint through straws to create snowy trees. I then provided students with pre-cut fox heads, bodies and tails which they covered in torn tissue. I touched some of them up with a little orange paint (just to help them along a little bit) before they added eyes and noses. I think the results are really sweet!

Louise, thank you for sharing this with me. I'm glad my art could inspire others to create something with their hands. You are doing a wonderful thing!

Thanks Molly!
DeleteMy goodness, these are GREAT! Have you ever thought about writing an article about one of your successful projects for a K-12 art-education magazine, such as Arts & Activities? We'd love to hear from you. Our readers are interested in adaptive art projects and ideas they can use in their classrooms.
