Literacy & Art: Drawing a Pet for Thursday, May 21, 2020


Today, you will choose 
a pet you want to draw.
But first...
Mrs. Jordan and Mr. Johnson discuss a 
BIG WORD ...


What do you think the characteristics of a rabbit are?

Watch Mrs. Jordan as she draws ...


Now it is your turn to draw a pet!

You will need:
your journal
flair pen
colored pencils or crayons

Choose a pet that you want to draw.
Here are a few pictures of some pets for ideas (you can always find your own picture to look at too).




Before you draw, really think about the characteristics of that animal:

  • How many legs? 
  • Are they long or short?
  • What kind of feet does it have (Claws, paws, hooves)?
  • What kind of ears?  
  • Does it have skin, fur, feathers, a shell?
  • Color?
  • Are there other details special to that pet?
  • Whiskers? Tail? Tongue? Spots? Stripes?


Work slowly and carefully!

Add color to show what is 
special about that pet.

Please send us photos of your pet drawing!
