We began by imagining a bear in the woods. The kids talked about all they saw in their minds and what they might want to add to their pictures. We asked questions like: what kind of bear is this? Does in have a family? What is the season? What is the weather? What time of day is it? What is my bear doing?
With these ideas in mind, we began drawing. I encouraged the kids to follow along as I did a demonstration drawing. We drew our bears using a combination of simple shapes.
The kids drew their bears and then added all sorts of personal details. Many of the kids liked the idea of a family of bears. Others focused more on the details of the landscape and background. Finally we used colored pencils to give our pieces some life and color. Take a look below! They are wonderful!
