Students then re-created their bats on tan coloured 12” x 18” construction paper. They were instructed to ensure that they outlined their bats, coloured their pictures to show the bat’s fur, and make the bats the central point of the art piece. Students worked with drawing pencils and waxed crayons. They could then add other Autumn pictures to complete their scenes as they wanted. They were encouraged use their tertiary art techniques from last week’s lesson. These are on the bulletin board in our hallway:
I think they all look spectacular!
