Jungle Book Set: Part 2 Environments/Foliage

 This assignment started out with a KWL(What we know, what we want to know, and then we followed up at the end of the lesson with what we learned.)

Then we watched a video clip from the Planet Earth series about Jungles. The students wrote down as many animals, birds, and plants as they could see while watching.

we also looked at a couple of artists that use non-traditional mediums to create sculptures.

FOUND METAL SCULPTURE....incredibly close representation of a real horse given the materials
For this art lesson we got to work in groups to create our own vines.
These weren't just any ordinary vines, 
each group got to pick 4 items to combine in their own creative way to create a jungle vine for Mrs. Latham's classroom and to possibly use in the school play, The Jungle Book.

Materials available for student to included:
( we don't need all of these, just what ever you can find)

raffia
rope/ or string
green planters tape( floral tape)
burlap
green butcher paper
cardboard( i can probably find some from grocery stores)

green plastic table covers-(2-3)
plastic lays( i can check the dollar store too)
+ anything else you can think of or the kids bring in
