Creatures: Great and Small

Creatures: Great and Small...the first class of the new year!  The class started with the blue dog paintings, just to get working again.  The students then chose an animal they would study and work on the next few weeks.  The pictures below show the Blue dog paintings, animal collage, and the working with clay.    A big THANK YOU to Bill Nybo for helping us with the clay animals.  I am not sure they would have gotten done without you!  The final week the students created their own animal creations.  Some took characteristics from other animals and combined them.  Other students created their version of fictional animals. They used oil pastels to create these drawings.
