Pattern Owls

First grade has recently finished up a small unit on line and pattern. For this project students took everything they learned about pattern and used this to decorate their owl pictures. First students drew an owl using black markers and then they divided the owl into sections. In each of these sections they had to fill it with a different pattern. The following class students were given a black piece of paper and had to fill the entire piece with one pattern using construction paper crayons. After students carefully cut out his/her owl and glued it onto the background they just created. I just love all the different personalities these little owls have. Plus the first graders really have a handle on line and pattern now!
