We collected lots of natural objects, mostly leaves and moss, to create our bird bodies using PVA glue and some coloured paper pieces. We tried to lay our collage pieces in the same direction as we observed birds feathers to be when we sketched different birds we saw on our walks.
We used some coloured feathers, plastic eyes and some images of bird feet. We learnt about how different birds have different feet for different ways they use them. We used bird feet designed for gripping to tree branches.
Then we made the backgrounds for our birds. We made it a blurred bush a bit like some of our Ross Creek photos. One of the green paints smelt very strongly of eggs, you will see some talented one-handed painting. This left us free to hold our nose with the other hand.
Luckily it didn't smell once it had dried. You can view our finished work in our classroom.
