After the teacher read the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar I decided to create a butterfly using the scraps from our paper. I used one solid sheet for the background and used several different scraps to form the butterfly. The design of the butterfly is created out of shapes because I would use this artwork with students in kindergarten and first grade. They can learn about and use the different shapes while creating a butterfly designed just the way they would like it. Than we could use the shapes to do addition/subtraction and learn the number of sides different shapes have. This project could also be used in Science while discussing the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly. I had a lot of fun creating this piece and I think students would enjoy it as well.
