海の動物や爬虫類を詳細に描く（ちょっとしたクイズも）

The world of sea animals is vast and exciting. Why not delve into anatomy and behavior through detailed drawings 
and discussions? At the beginning of the class, Students will be asked to share some key facts about the creature that will be drawn. Students will be allowed to jot or doodle what they have learned using a variety of tools.  Next up, I will guide students through each step as they sketch their animals, however, students are allowed to use their imaginations when creating their compositions, etc. Students will be able to explore shading, color, and composition.  Students will be allowed to give positive criticisms about each other's work. During class, we will also discuss a few interesting facts about these animals.
