Using patterns of toucans and parrots, students traced and cut out their own tropical bird. This cardboard base was the foundation for a collage project using a variety of scrap papers such as wall paper, painted paper, foil papers, specialty prints and construction paper. This projects connects directly to 6th grade world culture standards and builds on their 5th grade Audubon bird project.
Each student is encouraged to select colors and designs that appeal to them- they can pursue a more realistic color palette (photos of the birds are on display) or chose a more personally imaginative approach.Using patterns of toucans and parrots, students traced and cut out their own tropical bird.
