Grade 2 Quokka Art

 

By Edith (Year 2)

Lesson Background

Our new class mascot for the year is a toy quokka the children have named Gumdrop. We did lots of research about quokkas and used it as our spelling word of the week. It was a great way to revise the "qu" digraph!

Lesson Materials (per student):

1 A4 white art paper

oil pastels

Lesson Steps:

1.  We looked at lots of photos of quokkas and talked about their features.

2. We followed a guided drawing from Art for Kids hub: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4IikQm_970

3.  We coloured our drawings in with oil pastel.

4. We used watercolour to paint our own background designs based on photos of quokka habitats we had seen.
