Basically your're breaking down an object into a series of lines and shapes. I used this photo of a moose here.<br />http://pinterest.com/pin/43699058853977363/<br />I drew the slope of the nose first and guided them as to the best place to start drawing on their paper.Then little by little I would continue to draw parts of the moose on the whiteboard and they would do the same. I always emphasize that each moose will look completely different and that's the beauty of art. Before every direct line drawing lesson I do, I practice a few times to figure the easiest way it would be to draw that particular thing.<br />Hope this helps! Best of Luck!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01659049026365545639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764202135165479575.post-81298116149987832372013-01-15T19:48:34.428-08:002013-01-15T19:48:34.428-08:00I love these!

I looked at all of your recent post and want to share them with my fellow art teachers. I have younger children of my own that would love to paint several ideas off of your sight. I teach art to older kiddos but still am inspired but the work your kids are producing!

I knew I wanted to introduce my 1st-3rd graders to tints and shades with the addition of an animal that could be found in cold regions so we could add snowfall. Moose it was!
