Our fourth graders broke into groups and read books on Big cats, learning facts about how the different cats, act, hunt and survive. After gathering all their information, students choose a cat they would like to draw from a variety of pictures of tigers, lions and cheetahs. They started their drawing with a light sketch of the large shapes that made up their cats, they then added in some detail. Once their drawing was complete they started to outline the drawings using marker. Fourth grade then used chalk pastels to create realistic colors and backgrounds. To finish things up, students went in and pulled out their black areas with an oil pastel, the results were beatuiful!
