My Heart is Like a Zoo

Third and Fourth grade artists read "My Heart is Like a Zoo," by Michael Hall.  This is a book of animal similies where all of the animal illustrations are made with hearts.  What could be more fun as we get ready for Valentine's Day?  Students used colored paper to collage their own animals based on Michael Hall's creations.

Perfect Square


First and Second grade artists read Perfect Square  by Michael Hall.  Each student  painted two squares of paper with watercolors, using warm colors for one and cool colors for the other.  Then they turned their squares into pictures using collage.
