From bone to bone
Made by Felix, 11 years old
You need:- black construction paper
- white drawing paper A4 size
- white and black tempera
- brushes
- pictures of animal skeletons
- black fine marker
The children search the Internet for a picture of a skeleton of an animal. It has to be an image in which the various components are to be seen. The higher the resolution, the larger the picture is and clearer it will be. Print this pictures. Then the students search the Latin name of the animal and write it down.
Children draw the skeleton of the animal with a pencil on black paper. This requires them to study the skeleton carefully. Then the individual elements of the skeleton have to be painted with undiluted white paint and a small brush. Any errors can be corrected later with black paint. The Latin name next to it (with brush, or if this is to difficult with a white pencil), will make the artwork complete.
Paste the black sheet on a white background and let the students decorate the edges, for example with bones or footsteps.

How do you draw a pipe? How can you show that a pipe is round? Where is the light part and where are the shadows? Show this on the blackboard.
