I found this idea on the
Art Lessons blog a few days ago. I liked it so much that I thought I would try it with my students. I did make a few changes to the project. Instead of painting the
alligator, I had the students use oil pastels.
We started with large green paper. Then I showed the students how to draw the
alligator. I reminded them that the
alligator should be
Gigantic and should fill the entire sheet of paper. Students then decorated their
alligators with fun designs and patterns. (They could draw
poka dots, zig zags, stripes, hearts, wavy lines, etc.) Everything was drawn with oil pastels. At the very end, I had the students use blue and white paint to add some water at the bottom of the page.
I think this a great way to help students learn to draw big.
