Color Zoo Masks
Our Y5 artists created animal masks out of shapes! This lesson was inspired by the author Lois Ehlert who wrote the book "Color Zoo". The Y5 students have been learning about this author in their library special and reading other stories by her! This lesson had the students think creatively with shapes to create an animal face!
