Our new focus book is Snowsong Whistling by Karen Lotz. It is a great story, actually more like a long poem, with beautiful illustrations by Elisa Kleven. The story tells of the time of year when fall turns into winter so nature is a prevalent topic in the story.
Given that, one of our activities last week was to paint with pine tree branches instead of paint brushes. We had several different kinds of pine branches and several different colors of paint so each painting was very unique.
Each page of the story is framed with different beautiful patterns so to display our non-representational art we glued our paintings to black paper and used small cut out paper pieces to make a pattern border like the pages in the story. Here are a few of their awesome creations!
