The 5-6th grade students spent the first part of the year studying color theory.  They have been working on cool and warm color schemes.  I had them create patterns with cool colors that became feathers, and they used contrasting warm colors to create eye spots on the outside edges.  They designed the peacock body on separate paper and cut it out before pasting it in the front.  I let them decorate with googly eyes, feathers and glitter glue.
