Grade 1 Animal Drawing

Students each got a small sandwich bag with a plastic toy animal in it

Next students did a drawing WITHOUT looking in the bag!  They had just a white paper and thin sharpie.










The next part of this drawing exercise was to take
the animal out of the bag, set up the animal in front
of them and do a BLIND contour drawing
WITHOUT LOOKING at the PAPER this time!
The last drawing was done by just doing both:
looking at the animal AND the paper


They cut out the animals a little bigger than their drawing and created their backgrounds. I love the effect!!
