Textures were achieved by the use of line and pattern…one built upon another to create owls of all sorts. Aspects of this activity were challenging. Already, at grade four, you can see where the freedom of childhood drawing is winding up. The questions are beginning to surface. Can I do this? Is this good? Does this look like_____? In the end, the owls have wonderful facial expressions and magical whimsy.
Sometimes Picasso said it best…
“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”
― Pablo Picasso
