Each week, artists will draw a completely different animal and are introduced to various drawing styles, strokes, and marks. The roll of the die determines which version (or which part) of the animal is drawn. Then we will draw together, step-by-step, using simple shapes to lead our sketch. The alphabet is our guide to inspire the next week's animal drawing choice. 

After brief introductions, artists will be shown examples of the basic shapes and completed drawing options/styles. We will also discuss a few fun facts about the species. Artists will be able to see the selection of animal drawings we will use as our guide (drawn by me) and the die on an overhead art cam. I will visually model and give verbal cues on the steps of how to draw it. We usually have time to draw two versions of the animal.

Even though all artists will be drawing the same animal, and using the same visual references, no two will ever look alike! 

As time allows, artists are encouraged to add colors and embellish their artwork.

Animals we have drawn in the past include:
Alligator
Bear
Cat
Dog
Elephant
Fish
Giraffe
Lemur
Narwhal
