We finally have warmer weather coming in, and at Cione, we decided to celebrate. We decorated paper bunny rabbits with yarn whiskers, and cotton ball nose and tail. I told the students to get creative and that they could make their bunnies superheroes, princesses, or even just regular old bunnies.
I loved seeing all of the different types of bunnies the students were creating. Sam decided he wanted to make a creepy bunny rabbit, which follows the artist freedom shown in his other works as well.
Once all of the students completed their projects, they shared the names of their bunnies. I encouraged them to share the names of their bunnies because I think it is important for students to experience closure in their works. Naming their bunnies is one way to do it. It also grounds the piece and allows the students to think creatively.
