Third grade students created these Laurel Burch inspired cats last year during our statewide testing period. This was a great project to do during that time because they could work rather independently while they were in and out of my classroom due to testing scheduling.
We first discussed Laurel Burch and her cat paintings. We then drew the cats together and the students added their own patterns. For the students who missed the drawing demonstration, I created a step-by-step "how to draw" handout. We drew on colored construction paper, traced with black sharpie marker, and added color with regular and sparkly construction paper crayons.
