Adaptive Art: Potato Penguins

PREP: Cut potatoes in half- some should be length ways for the body and others should be width ways for the stomach.  Get aqua blue paint, white paint, black paint, and orange paint ready in trays with sponges. Tape down 12x18 white paper with masking tape along each of the four sides. 
Step 1:  Have students use large sponge paintbrushes to paint background aqua blue (back and forth, back and forth).
Step 2: Using white tempera, students sponge paint 3 icebergs across the page touching the bottom.  For this I say "dab dab dab" for the motion and "up up up up then down down down down" to make the shape of the iceberg.  Some children will just sponge paint all over the background, which is also fine.
Step 3: Using the length cut potatoes dip in black paint and stamp 3 ovals across page for bodies.
Step 4: While paint is wet, take width cut potato dipped in white paint and stamp over the black ovals to create stomach.
Step 5: Take opposite tip of paintbrushes to dot 2 white eyes on each penguin.
Step 6: Using triangular cut sponges, stamp black wings and orange nose and feet onto each penguin.  Nose should be stamped point down, but feet should be stamped point up.
