As you know, Veteran's Day is a big deal here at OGS (which it should be everywhere!). 3rd graders are lucky enough to be the featured artists each year for our Veteran's Day celebration. Every year, we do something a little different. This year, the classes will be creating a layered flag collage. The first layer will be text in pencil, then sharpie marker. We brainstormed a list of patriotic words by talking about what it means to be an American. The next layer will be a watercolor light wash of red and blue. The next layer will be painting the blue box and red stripes to make the flag come to life. Lastly, we will add more text and imagery using magazine cutouts. The collages will be sealed with a mod podge coat.
