Bunny Art

One of our recent projects in class was a project dealing with complimentary colors. It was on a first grade level.  My group was assigned blue and orange. We took a piece of white drawing paper and drew thick and thin horizontal lines using blue and then drew vertical lines using orange.  After the paper dried, we traced out pre-cut patterns onto our plaid paper. We then glued it all together to form a bunny. 

An extension activity would be to have the students make a picture of plaid. I would give them magazines to look through and find plaid in them. Then they could either make a collage or a scene made of plaid.
