First Grade Texture Elephants

If first graders do not know their textures yet, we have a HUGE art problem! This lesson involved tons of textures! We first drew our elephants and made them have a wrinkled texture by outlining with black marker and then painting over the lines with a wet paintbrush. We then used texture scissors to create our patterned background. Finally we added cool patterned papers and actual textures with yarn and sequins. Super cute, and very funny! Loved this project. I could definitely see using it for 2nd grade, but my first graders did a pretty awesome job!
