Description:
  • Josh Brill lives in Portland Maine and likes to hike in Acadia National park.  He enjoys nature and often makes cut collage pictures of the birds he sees.  Our artists chose a bird to draw and cut out using construction paper puzzle pieces which needed to be carefully assembled.  Students learned that beaks and feet can reveal what the bird eats and where the bird might live.
