Second grade students combined real animals to create these fun imaginary ones. The coloring was done with color pencil and we talked about layering different colors and lines to come up different textures for these creative creatures. I showed them Carla Sonheim's book,
Drawing and Painting Imaginary Animals: A Mixed-Media Workshop and talked about how she layered color to textures to her creatures. For the background we used watercolors and a palette to mix lighter shades. This filled in the background nicely and let our animals stand out. Here are some of the finished ones. You can also see all of them on Artsonia.
