Animal Portraits


Sixth grade students work very hard to create these large animal portrait paintings!  Students begin by drawing their animals using the grid drawing technique; they carefully measure a 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch grid on a black and white picture, then enlarge the grid to fit on a piece of 18 x 24 inch paper.  Once the animals have been drawn in detail, students use white, black and gray values to paint their animals.  Intricate brush strokes are applied last to show texture.
