For our painting unit we will be making stylistic paintings of animals inspired by Aztec representation of familiar animals. To begin we started with realistic drawings of animals. I explained to the kids that shapes are found everywhere, even in animals. I also taught them about using "details" such as fur, whiskers, feathers, claws, eyes, nose, etc are what makes the drawing even more realistic. They were so proud of their drawings that they wanted to take them home right away. They need the drawings to inform their paintings next week. Here they placed their names besides their most successful drawing out of the 6-7 they drew that day.
