In this lesson students learned about shapes, proportion, and texture! At the start of the lesson I demonstrated how to break the parrot down into simple shapes to create a proportional drawing!
After students had completed their pencil drawings they began adding oil pastel with photos to look at while filling in with color. They learned about value and layering oil pastels to create texture. They were required to color using a series of tiny lines instead of just filling in the space like they would when coloring during free time in another class.
Students also had the freedom to choose what color parrots they wanted to do and whether they parrots were in the rainforest, at the beach, or on a pirate ship!
