For this project 3rd Graders began by drawing animals as realistic as they could. Their animal was suppose to be large enough that it ran off the page on at least one side, (this was very hard for students we have a tendency to want to fit everything on our paper.) Then we transfered out drawing onto a foil base, (our foil bases have thin peices of crafting foam under them so that the foil gives a little and can be indented.) Then with Sharpie marker we colored our animals. When coloring our animls we looked at the work of Mexican Oaxacan Carved Animals. These animal carvings are painted with ornate pattern and detail, that was our inspiration for our abstract color. Students seem to love this short simple project because they love to draw animals and color with sharpie.
