I FOUND INEXPENSIVE TOY COWS AND BOUGHT 2 DOZEN. WE DREW THE COWS WITH PENCIL. WE WORKED AT GETTING THE ANATOMY CORRECT. NEXT WE WENT OVER THE LINES WITH CRAYON PASTEL. IN SOME CLASSES I TRIED BLACK AS A BACKGROUND, IN OTHERS WE DID SKIES BUT IN ANY COLOR. I ALSO TRIED THIS WITH GLITTER SCRATCH PAPER. THERE ARE A LT OF POSSIBILITIES. THE IDEA IN TO SHARPEN THEIR DRAWING ABILITIES AND LET THEM FREE THEMSELVES UP WHEN IT COMES TO COLOR.
