Butterfly Tiles

Students looked at the symmetry and shapes of butterflies.  Students used ceramic tiles that were donated to the art room to create a background or scene for their butterflies.  Students then used modeling and shaping techniques to create their butterflies from a medium called model magic.  Students used acrylic and biocolor paint to complete their details.  Finally, they sealed their piece with mod podge.  A few examples are displayed in the slide show below.
