Watch these short videos!
Draw a detailed and ‘to scale’ drawing of an animal. It should be drawn from a real animal but feel free to add your own creative designs and shapes. (1-2 classes)
Using wire and your drawing, you will create a 3 dimensional animal that has character and details.
If you know what animal you’d like to work with, bring in a book or picture of it. Otherwise you will have to use what I have available. Bring those pictures in ASAP!
