The project:  

1. Directions; fold paper in half hotdog style and again in hamburger style. Creating 2 lines on your paper. 

2. Trace the hawk cutout in each box

3. Color in each hawk with two of the hawks being warm colors and two being cool colors. 

Remind the kids what warm and cool colors are. Use sharpies. 

4.  Paint each background of the hawk with a opposite color. If the student did a cool color hawk, the background will be warm and vice versa. 

Take your time and go slow. Use small amounts of paint so it will dry faster.
