Monster Paintings
The first grade students were learning about Monsters in their reading and writing classes. To integrate art with other content areas, we did an art project based on Monsters as well. First we read a book called "The Mythological Monsters of Ancient Greece," and students discussed the features and personality of each monster. Students then drew what they would look like if they were monsters. After students drew in pencil they outlined the drawing with marker and applied color using watercolor paints.
