6th Grade Project: Create's objective is to create a papermache animal. After researching a specific species of an animal and collecting multiple photo references, students sketched a blueprint of an armature, creating a wire skeleton of their animal.

Artists plan on building up their animal out of newspaper and tape, then adding papier-mâché to create a smooth body. Lastly, students will paint adding color, as well as research their animal species, writing about what they have learned.

5th Grade Project: Create's objective is to use acrylic paint to paint an animal species on a canvas. After researching a specific species of an animal and collecting a photo reference, Artists had to transfer their animal's image onto a canvas. Artists used grid-method- a form of drawing that allows artists to transfer an image by drawing one small square at a time, providing more of an accurate drawing. 

After sketching out their animals, students will create an "Underpainting", making a base color, then adding texture on top with value and a variety of colors. Lastly, students will research their animal species, writing about what they have learned.
