Turkey Art

I recently rearranged our homeschool schedule to allow more time for art. For today's lesson, we talked about sketching animals with pencils on construction paper. We learned that a sketch is a "silent line" that can be erased and manipulated. We also found that drawing is more manageable when we follow these 5 basic steps:

1. Start the drawing using basic shapes.
2. Add the major features of the animal.
3. Incorporate detail to make the figure more realistic.
4. Color and shade.
5. Sign the work.

Since Thanksgiving is just around the corner, we focused on drawing turkeys. Here is a sample of our work:
