While we watched a video of the this story, artists sketched as many different chickens as they could. Then we collected different textures to use to make painted paper for our collage chickens.

Chicken Collages
First and second graders read "The Chicken Chasing Queen of Lamar County," by Janice Harrington. We looked at the illustrations and noticed how illustrator Shelley Jackson used many different types of arts media, including paint and collage, to create the pictures in the book.

Chickens!
We read "The Chicken Chasing Queen of Lamar County," by Janice Harrington. This book has fabulous collage illustrations by Shelley Jackson, made up of many different types of paper and materials and painting. It was a Red Clover book in 2007, and has been one of my favorite children's books ever since.
To create out chicken collages, we started by collecting texture rubbings from around the room and painting them with watercolor paints, to observe the resist technique. This gave us a variety of beautiful papers to use. We used these papers and other scraps from our scrap cart to create fun and funky chickens.
