Spring Sky Palette and Paper Nests - Spring Artclub Jr. Week 2

We were missing a few of the art crew but worked on our group painting just the same(you two can catch up next week).   We painted SKY using a shared, and Spring specific, palette of colours.  We could talk to each other through our work... 
 or create something independently, but because our theme was the same and our colour choices started out the same, we created a very connected group of paintings with subtle and unique inventions and conversations. Great job!
We also did a craft project: Paper Bag Nests!

We talked briefly about the difference between the terms Art and Craft...and some possible differences between a craft project and an art project. We each made our own nests carefully following the basic directions - and we each had fairly unique results. We decided to fill our nests with things that would make it special - and we chose feathers, pom-poms, paper scraps and other soft materials.
In between our nests and our sky: Next week we will start to work on inhabitants of Spring and paint our "eggs" and stones to see where they might fit in.
