Collaborative Art

The Pine friends were excited to share the collection of pine cones they found on our walk the other day with friends from Magnolia and Dogwood. 

"Let's paint them the colors from that!"

J started working on painting her pine cone when she noticed the projected picture. 

"I'm going to use those colors for mine and yellow because my shirt is yellow!"

"It's kind of sticky. I am making it blue."

A lot of the kids talked about how sticky the pine cones were.

"I think someone put glue on them."

"It's really sticky and makes my hands stick."

"I don't know how they get so sticky."

"It's called sap!"

"What's sap?"
"It's stuff on the pine cones."

A from Dogwood was interested in mixing two different colors to make a new one.

"I wonder what red and yellow make. Can I try it?"

A put some yellow paint into the container and then added red. 

"Nothing happened!"

He stared at it for a moment, then mixed up the two colors.

"It turned orange!"

"Look it made orange! I want to mix red and blue next."

A continued to mix different colors and test them out on his pine cone. 

Such a fun afternoon getting together with other classes and collaborating on art pieces that will be displayed for them to see.
