Our final art project of the year turned out pretty well, I'd say. I found this painting of a dandelion on Pinterest. It became our inspiration, as well as the many dandelions that are sprinkled throughout our playground.
Since I didn't really know what I was doing, I kept it simple. We used color crayons for the stem and attempted to do a bit of shading. Then we used regular old white chalk for the seeds. Like I said, it's simple but I'm very happy with the outcome.
They are much more welcome here on the wall than in my lawn!
I will take these dandelions anytime over the ones I see in my yard in the spring! They turned out beautifully!!

Lori, I've managed never to have a dandelion in my yard, thankfully! I'm glad you like these better too. :)
DeleteBeautiful! I love dandelions...they always make me think of childhood wishes. Also, my Mom did a wonderful program for students called "Dandelions are Survivors" when she was a master gardener. It's really cool how the root, stem, flower and seeds are all so good at surviving (despite my attempts to keep them out of my front lawn:).

Lyn, it's really too bad dandelions are such a problem, because they are full of fun huh?
DeleteWhat a cute art project! Your students are very talented. I don't think mine would look that good!
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree...better on paper than in my grass! :)

ReplyDeleteMy girls would take a yard FULL of these guys just to make wishes. :) I'd oblige, but my hubby won't have it.
