Wild Color Wild Life

Earlier this year my 6th graders spent some time working on drawing animals. They focused on using shapes to sketch. They had to plan for and use a color theory. They also had to select and research an animals to share, demonstrating their personal voice. They were pretty fun to see all finished.

For most of them this was the first time we had done a whole project with tempera. I was pretty impressed with their blending and color mixing.

Don't tell anyone but the freedom in this cow painting just makes me soooo happy! It might just be my favorite.
