It was one of my favorite books as a child. The pictures were so much fun in my eyes. I loved how the story took place at night and how the illustrator used dark pages with bright yellow to show the glow of the moon, eyes, and fire fly. I remember my grandmother reading it to me. I came aross it and decided to share it with my kinders. Then, we did a fun crayon resist project, drawing owls and fire flies and then painting over it with a cool glowy, nighttime, green watercolor paint.
I think they are adorable, and love the bright yellow moons, owl eyes, and fire fly bottoms!
I know school has been over for a bit, but I just came across these pictures on my computer and decided to share.
I hope all my fellow art teachers are enjoying (or enjoyed, if you are back already) their summer. I have one month left! Looking forward to hearing about all your fabulous lessons and hope to be sharing more of mine as I look to the fall.
Very cute, love pd eastman.
ReplyDeleteThe kids are always so excited by the wax resist effect aren't they? It's like magic, the way it makes the yellow glow :) Lovely :)
