This week we went on a really great field trip with our homeschool group. The 1st half of the class the kids did watercolor and print art and the 2nd half of the class they were given bug nets for the kids to catch bugs in the nature area.
The kids were given hexagon (to resemble a beehive comb) cardstock shapes and they traced this shap all throughout their pictures and then they pained each hextagon shape in a different watercolor paint.
After the watercolor paint dried , they took a 3D bee image, rolled it with black screening paint and then pressed it over the watercolor paintings.
My kids finished art work:
Then the kids went in seach of bugs:
My older boys caught a grasshopper (left picture) and a little tiny green bug of some sort. Even my 2 year old was trying to catch bugs with his net! After all the kids caught their bugs and looked at them under magnifying boxes they released them back into nature.

ReplyDeleteThis looks like it was so much fun. My kiddos love art projects and my oldest adores bugs... me, not so much.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun was had by all! Glad you released the bugs back to nature-and equally glad they did not catch any of the stinging variety!! However did you get the bugs to stay still under the microscope?
ReplyDeleteThe bee pictures came out incredible, didn't they!! This is a great project to share, and though I don't have anything to link up this week, I love the idea of having a blog hop like this one.
ReplyDeleteThe honey comb and bees should so go on your wall!! they look amazing!

ReplyDeleteI'd love it if you could post a link for this on my blogg:

I'm in Belfast Northern Ireland, and was thinking it would be really fun to find a group of online home educators in different places to share ideas with - but especially fun if we could each post something about local holidays and traditions through out the year.
That's a super craft!! Looks wonderful -I like the pop of color and the BOLD BLACK BUG in front!
ReplyDeleteWow, my girls would love this! Thanks for sharing, I am so going to do the bug painting with them!
ReplyDeleteI love the art project! So simple with such beautiful results! Must keep that in mind when I'm doing insects with my daughter..thanks for the ideas!
ReplyDeleteLove this!! We're doing insects all this month at my preschool. We focused on ladybugs last week and I just linked that post up with your linky listed above. This week we're focusing on butterflies and having a blast! Next week we'll be doing bees and ants. Love the project your kids did. Can you tell me where you got the 3-D bee stamp?
