Sketch a Bird
Jeannie's post about the Great Backyard Bird Count is very cool. Have you counted the birds in your yard? Tell us about them (use the comments) Keep an ear open for coo's and warbling too! After reading Jeannie's post I heard a dove cooing the other morning and caught the following friendly bird outside my office in Bluffdale, Utah.
And a nest nearby too...
Project Idea: Sketching a Bird
Supplies: pencil, piece of paper or your journal
How to: Sit down to observe the bird or use the picture above. Notice how the head shape is a circle and so is the tummy? The beak is triangle and the tail looks kind of like a rectangle. Can you see it? Start by sketching lightly the shapes you see and then as you start to see the bird on your paper outline the bird more clearly and detail things like the speckles. Permission granted to make mistakes, have extra pencil lines that won't erase... just go for it!
Make it fabulous: A sketch is great, but if you like to play with beads, sequins, threads etc, go ahead and play with your. Glue some sequins on the wings or make a nest out of thread glued to the page. Have fun! Share your final picture with your family by putting it up on the fridge.
Update: 3/11 - Here's my sketch, Suz
