Art with Mrs. O'Neill

My art club kids have been collaborating with our recycling team to create a recycled garden. We used milk cartons from our cafeteria and all kinds of recyclables to create a rain forest themed garden. We are amazed at the progress in which our plants are growing! The students are enjoying watching our garden grow. We planted beans, flowers, and watermelon seeds. Hopefully we will win the carton2garden spring 2016 contest!  Here are some pictures of our project:

I can thank Pinterest for this great project. I found an old dictionary that was about to be thrown away & instead of trashing it we used the pages in art! Students drew an owl on a book page, outlined in black, then colored in & glued it to a black construction paper & created a border around the page. This was a very quick, easy, & successful art lesson .... I love the results!
