Winter Cardinals





For our second class, we drew winter cardinals on colored paper. This project is great for the winter! I give the students a funny shaped template that is just the outline of the bird. Most students don't know what the shape is. I have them draw the side wing, tail, and legs. The branch is added with pencil and the berries and leaves were the students ideas. The sky and bird can be colored with colored pencil or crayon, making sure to press hard when coloring the branch. I usually give students inspiration in the form of printed images of cardinals and branches.

There is very few rules for the projects.  For this one, the class had to draw a winter scene, a cardinal, and branches....Students like to push limits and break boundries...

There were a few drawings of Angry Birds, and other silly things.  I loved it!
