It was time to talk turkey this week at the Great Bend Recreation Commission. After-school art classes offered at Lincoln, Jefferson and Eisenhower elementary schools allowed children 5-12 years old to create “button turkey” wall decorations.At Jefferson on Thursday, the kids had instructor Rachel Kitch’s model to work from as they painted a wooden turkey body and its multi-colored feathers, glued the patterned pieces to a canvas and added colorful buttons and other personal embellishments. Bright orange pipe cleaners were added to create the turkey legs and feet and extend the 3-D elements of the wall hanging.Ava Carter, a fourth grader at Jefferson, used a marker to add words such as “turkey,” “fall” and “thanks.”Students don’t have to be enrolled in the school to sign up for the classes.
