Here's a wonderful winter lesson teaching students about implied texture through use of lines.
It also teaches pattern. I taught this to Grade 4-6 classes.
I do believe the originator of this project (there are various versions posted online, with no attribution given, as usual) by Art Room Britt.
I started off by showing a slideshow of the animal work by Mexican illustrator and graphic designer Indi Maverick. Then I did a demonstration.
Students chose their animal from handouts I had. Racoons and deer were BY FAR the most popular.
They drew their animals on tabloid photocopy paper, then did all the line work in sharpie.
They coloured in the sweater only.
We created a frame for the artwork using kraft paper.
They drew a pattern along the edges using paint pens.
Some of the finished artwork- I love how cute and cozy they turned out!
