Part I: Students select 2 colors of paper to cut (lines/stripes) to glue on a pre cut rectangular shape. Model how to cut from edge to edge. Cut and glue in a pattern leaving white space between each stripe.
Part II: Using tempera paint on large paper, students create a landscape for their Zebra. Connect sky to ground.
Part III: Design head using smaller pre-cut rectangle-embellish with the same color pattern as the larger (body) rectangle.
Part IV: Assemble all parts and add legs, yarn tail, mane and savanna grass.

Imagination in 3-D
This Spring After School series is designed for young artists but can easily be adopted to challenge older students as well. Working with a variety of materials and supplies, students created expandable imaginary animal puppets and a gnome with his/her mushroom home. The gnomes are painted coconut cups (a donation that has rolled around the art room for 2 years) I primed most of them white to give the students a smooth base. Some chose the non primed cups. One coat of tempera was applied as a color foundation to block out body parts (face, dress, hands...) and left to dry. Details and smaller bits of color where added later and last the cotton beard/hair and pointed hat/cap.

Where is your Mummy?
Supporting 6th grade World History Standards and Visual Arts skill building/design themes this 3 session mummy projects was both creative and educational (and lots of fun). Starting with a brief discussion of ancient Egyptian life and art supported with hand outs, prints and books students made sketches of their To create the coffin students had the option of using preprinted guides or drawing their own. This project used crayons, color pencils, beads, tissue paper and othe small decorative collage elements. Once the drawing was completed and cut out it was mounted on folded black paper (card like) and inside they drew-with white color pencil a mummy and or skeleton (once again with visual support materials)
