Anna's Animals

One of my 4th graders who is unable to attend gym class for health reasons opts to come to me in lieu of gym. So, she gets extra art time and she treasures it. She has some amazing drawing talent. Her "extra" class has been devoted to created realistic animal drawings, using shading with colored pencils and extra fine point sharpies. I am so proud of what she's done. Here are two of her four animals she's made over the course of the year. She really takes her time, and it's obvious. I will definitely miss her next year.

I am impressed that she doesn't try and fit the whole animal on the page. That seems so advanced.
I teach art (k-8) and love your blog.

Thanks everyone :) Anna is really talented. She was just looking at some magazine clippings of photographs of the animals. NO tracing. ;) She is really just that good. I will miss her next year!
