Product Description
Draw a sheep and use Welsh woolen fabrics to create a background.
Wales is a fascinating land of castles, public markets that are full of surprises, and the home of many famous authors like Roald Dahl. But if you drive through the countryside, it’s possible that the sheep will be the thing that catches your eye. Sheep seem to be everywhere! Every sheep had a big bright red, blue, or purple spot or combination of spots that farmers use to tag their flock. Each flock had its own color code, so if a sheep jumps the fence to join another flock, it will quickly be discovered.
Sheep of course, make wool, so it’s no wonder that Wales is known for its fine woolen fabrics.
In this lesson, we’ve combined the drawing of a sheep with a plaid pattern inspired by Welsh wool fabric. Students will combine curvilinear lines with rectilinear lines, not only, but the plaid fabric is also an invitation to try out some color combinations. The media for coloring the picture is oil pastels and watercolor – a combination that will introduce students to oil resist.
This lesson includes both POWERPOINT and VIDEO versions of the lesson plus 2 downloadable printouts: a warmup and a drawing of the sheep.
