Lioness in the Future
My stuffed animal Lioness is going up the levitating passageway to get to the entrance of her futuresque abode. She lives in a house made out of flexiglass and most of the colors I used were blue and if I didn’t use blue I mixed blue with other colors. Most of it is green and greenish blue and bluish purple, plus a little tan for Lioness.

In this unit, artists learn to draw from observation; first finding the basic shapes that make up an object, and then observing them carefully in order to capture all the unique details. They bring in their favorite toy to draw, then they fill the background with details that show where their toy goes in their imagination.
paper, pencils, erasers, markers, watercolor paints, brushes, containers for water, optional: blow dryers (for quickly drying paintings)
Pre-project: A note to go home requesting students to bring a toy for the next lesson (1 per student):
