Rain Forrest Birds

6th Grade collage parrot or toucan, they used a choice of pattern/bird to create the base then added their own wings, feathers and beak details. Great way to use up the end of the year scraps and bits plus they looked great too!

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.
