Field markings

I love the interpretation of the colors on an Eastern Bluebird.  

Children folded a circle in half, then chose one of the birds to represent.

This week children are crafting two of the birds we have right here at Vinton School; goldfinches and bluebirds.  I hesitate to label this process art, because too much of the materials selection was determined by me.  However, children use the materials to interpret the field markings on these two birds.  They refer back to the photographs to mark the colors and position of those colors on the body of the bird.
