Observational Drawing

 



One of our independent learning tasks last week was doing an observational drawing of a butterfly. 

We supplied our tamariki with a large scale butterfly, a magnifying glass and some special drawing pencils and explained what an observational drawing needs to have - thinking again like a scientist.


We have been talking a lot about the life cycle of the butterfly, moth and frog, and our tamariki are really passionate about this topic. We are really impressed with the close detail and careful drawings completed.




Some people even chose to add a little bit of colour and tried to make their butterflies symmetrical.


Please pop into class and see the results for yourself!
