For this part of our butterfly project, the students used a variety of materials to create a mixed-media composition. The students had the option to use markers, water colors, beads, color pencils, paper scraps, and modeling clay. It was interesting to watch them as they were making their choices on how to use the different materials to enhance their compositions. Please click Here to view the drawing part of this project.
