Realistic Animal Drawings 4th Grade Project

SO proud of our fourth graders working hard on their realistic animal drawings! This is a difficult lesson but their pictures are turning out fabulous.

First they chose a photo of an animal with fur or hair from my huge collection of calendar photos that have been donated through the years.

Then they had two drawing lessons... how to draw an animal using shapes, and how to do a line drawing of their animal.  After they practiced both ways of drawing on manila paper they began their final, best drawing with shading and some hair/fur details.
                    
 The kids are almost done and they seem to be very pleased with their work. Great job fourth grade artists!
