We measured, we drew, and we painted our life size animals! This is a fun way to learn about the different tools for measurement and to see just how big a ft is, or even 4 feet. Once our animal was measured it was time to practice our art skills and try and draw our animal to scale. We started with the tallest part of our animal and worked our way down. Next, we thought about how we were going to make our animal look realistic. To help with that, we needed more than one coat of paint. Our first coat was the :base coat." This color was typically the lightest color on the animal. We painted our entire animal that one color to start. Next, we added all the details (face, spots, other colors, fur, ect). What a fun way to learn more about our animals! We can't wait to show you our African Savanna at the PBL showcase
