Rubber Ducky Art Project for Kids

While vacationing in Michigan this summer, I came across some really cool public sculptures of different themed ducks.  You can see pictures of these sculptures on this previous blog post.

At the beginning of the school year, I showed my students lots of examples of these public sculptures and we talked about how one of these public art exhibitions works.

Then, they used a simple duck template and transformed it into any sort of themed duck they could imagine.   Some of the themes included Batman, clowns, Minecraft, outerspace, abstract, surfers, ninjas and lots more.

Here is a bulletin board with some of our ducks.

On the left is a Donald Trump themed duck!  I love how the student on the right transformed his duck into a dragon (his favorite creature.)

These are some mixed media ducks using decorative tape, magazine images and tissue paper.

One student created these two ducks… Mario and Yoshi themes.
