Hot Air Balloon Art

This was a simple art lesson that was used to complement studying different countries. I gave each of the students a hot air balloon outline. Their task was to decorate it using the colours and elements that were found in their assigned country's flag. They could not use stars if their flag did not have stars in it. Likewise, if their flag had a circle or the colour green, it was essential that they use it in their design.

Slovakia, Canada, and Australia were very easy to spot.

I like how the student used the elements in the flag from China on the right.

Kazakhstan's flag is recreated in the hot air balloon on the top right.

Can you tell which hot air balloon represents Croatia and which one is for Serbia?

The kids had a lot of fun with this art and their designs were very accurate. It was fun for other students in the school to try and match the country's flag to the hot air balloon.
