2.This lesson has a directed drawing component to it. Place your paper long side down on the table. Draw a circle in the middle of the page. This will be the face of the owl in the middle.
3. Draw stylized eyes, a beak and cheeks in the middle of the circle.
2. Add a “U” underneath the circle to be used as the body of the owl.
3. Add rounded triangles on each side of the body for the wings. Add slim rectangles for the legs underneath the body. Add geometric shapes to the body and wings similar to the ones seen in the sample painting.
4. Draw an owl on the left of this owl -this one with the beak on top of the circle.
5. Draw the owl on the right with the beak on the left side of the circle.
