Butterfly Art

Butterfly Art is a project that I use in my classroom as an Original Art Fundraiser project. I've done it for a couple of years now and I love the way that all of the pictures turn out. If you are looking for an art project that really looks special, whether for a fundraiser project, a gift idea, or just for fun then I highly recommend this project. It is a project that is well worth the time spent on it. 

I'm providing a quick overview of how we do this project, but for detailed instructions and the butterfly pattern you can visit my TPT Store to get the free download. 

Quick Overview Instructions:
This project is done in layers. The first layer being the scenery in which students use a sharpie to draw the sun and the grass. They then color everything with crayons and then paint over it. 

The second layer is the butterfly layer. I provide students with a copy of the butterfly page in which they color the butterflies with markers, cut them out, glue them onto the scenery, and draw the antennae. 

The final step is mounting the project onto black construction paper to give it a framed look.





I hope that you like this project. I really love how unique and beautiful they always turn out.
