Colored markers or crayons . Grade Levels Grades 3 through 8. Lesson Objectives To develop and promote an awareness of shape and texture. Each image should be clearly defined. Textures should fill the entire image and should be varied in their variety and complexity.
Procedure Sketch an image on a sheet of paper and trace over it with a black marker.
The black marker can be done after the animal is filled in because it may smudge if it is waterbased. Permanent markers should not be used with younger students. Fill in the critter with as many different textures as the student can imagine. Make a colorful outline around the critter.
