TIC classes working with the Pat Barnes Missouri River Chapter of Trout Unlimited in Montana each make one of these wooden trout. A local woodworker cuts out the trout silhouettes, and gives one to each class. Each class is then responsible for creating a creative, beautiful trout. They use different techniques, including painting, decoupage, mosaic, and more. Below you can see that one has become a wall-mountable coat rack, while another features many different trout species in collage. What creative ideas could your class have to make a wooden trout silhouette a useful and/or beautiful object?
1. Draw and cut out a three foot trout outline on a stiff material to use as a template. Each classroom is then given one of the fish cutouts with DO NOT USE FOOD PRODUCTS. Donate to Trout in the Classroom |
