Drawing Macaw Birds

Today was the start of an all new session of KidzArt classes at The Studio at Rush Creek in Maple Grove, MN.  Today students learned how to draw Macaw Birds and used Prismacolor markers and Art Stix to color their drawings.

KidzArt is a drawing based program that teaches the fundamentals and drawing techniques that can help them decode and draw more complicated pictures.

For the birds we started with the eye and the "D" shape that surrounds the eye then went on to the beak and rest of the body.  After students were done drawing their birds they had the chance to add any other details or a background.  It is always wonderful to see how even though we are all drawing from the same example how different each picture turns out!
