Art

Time for a virtual field trip!

We will be practicing a new form of observational drawing that is called gestural drawing. While observational drawing is used for drawing real-life objects that are still, (like our shoes) gestural drawing is used for drawing objects that are NOT still. Like animals!

Watch Miss Nina practice her gestural drawing here:

And see her “finished” drawing here:

Remember that gestural drawing is JUST for practice! There should be no beautifully polished works of art at the end of this process.

Check out the links below to find your own animal to draw:

- - - April the Giraffe in New York: (Look for the videos with a red “LIVE” symbol in the corner.)
    - Georgia Aquarium Webcams: (This link starts you off with the beluga whales, but you can choose from other cameras by scrolling under the video.)
    - San Diego Zoo: (The penguins from this option is the video Miss Nina uses in her lesson)
