Product Description
Learn to draw an African crowned crane and capture its dancing in color and pattern.
African crowned cranes are the only cranes that roost in trees, but what they are more admired for is their dancing.
While the emphasis in our art lessons is on realistic drawing, the dancing of the cranes begs the question: what is realistic? Is it more realistic to capture the color of the crane or to capture the joy it seems to exude as it dances? This lesson gives the opportunity to interpret the crane drawing either way.
Using acrylic pens makes it much easier to add details–making fine marks with them is easier than with a brush. Be sure to have some on hand!
This lesson includes both POWERPOINT and VIDEO versions of the lesson plus 2 downloadable printouts: a warmup and a drawing of the crane.
Approximate Time to Complete the Art Class:
- Introduction through guided drawing: 20 min. (1 crane) to 30 min. (3 cranes)
- Finishing the drawing: 45 (1 crane) to 55 min. (2)
- Total time: 65-85 minutes
Families will have access to the online lesson for one year from the date of purchase.
