A Salute to the American Flag

July 3, 2015 Comments : 2

Happy Birthday America!

 
Who doesn’t love a birthday party? What about all those fabulous decorations? I love celebrating America’s birthday and seeing the Flag with all its stars and stripes displayed so proudly at this time of year.
 
In fact, I love seeing it displayed all year long! There is something so majestic about the flag.  Maybe it is the bold bright colors or the special significance that it means.
 
So in honor of the American flag and our love for our country, I had my kiddos create this awesome project inspired by the artist Peter Max.
 
 Supplies Flag
 
It is a quick 40 minute lesson but
the results are stunning!
 
 
I have created a full color lesson plan that you can download in honor of America’s birthday.  Head over to the shop to get your free lesson.
 
Download here
 
Have a Safe and Happy
4th of  July!
 
Keep on Creating!

    Yes, I was thinking the same thing. I always try to have a different project for Veteran'a Day. We have a large assembly so parents like to see different projects. 🙂

About Me

Hello

Hello! Do you love to paint? I sure do! Tempera Paint, Watercolor Paint, Paint sticks! I love helping kids create art, seeing them start with a blank paper, exploring with art materials, creating beautiful mini masterpieces. I encourage my students to become fine art explorers, learning about various artists and cultures. In my spare time I love creating fun, bright art inspired by nature. I also enjoy gardening and collecting vintage fisher-price toys. Thanks for visiting!
