Mrs. Howard's 4
th grade class studied the birds of the
Grasslands. These birds often live in large fields of grass, possibly near the edge of a forest. They have to be quick on the ground and have good
camouflage when there aren't a lot of trees to hide in. Most of the birds these students studied had feathers in the earth-tone family - lots of browns, golds, and tans. All the sculptures are made entirely of
recycled materials, plus
acrylic paint. Here are a few examples from this class:
A Turkey and a Bobolink!
A Falcon and a
Prairie Chicken!
A Turkey Vulture, a baby Barn Owl and an Ostrich!
A Prairie Chicken and a Pheasant!
