Product Description
On a recent trip to Bath, England, we dined at the Yak Yeti Yak, a family-owned Nepalese restaurant that serves good-sized portions of delicious, subtly-spiced food. One of the highlights of the meal was that the bill was served on a gorgeous, hand-painted paper plate—the workmanship of a Nepalese orphan. We were so impressed with the artwork that we asked if we could purchase one of these bill-serving beauties, and our water was happy to oblige.
The bird image—even though it looks complicated—is easy to draw and the lesson offers students several opportunities for creative work. Students are invited to use a repeated motif to give it a fanciful tail. An introduction to complementary colors helps students select an exciting palette. The plate shape will encourage students to invent a variety of motifs to decorate the background.
This lesson includes both POWERPOINT and VIDEO versions of the lesson plus 2 downloadable printouts: a warmup and a drawing of the bird.
