Foreshortened Creatures
Painted in a Pop Art Style
Seventh graders observed and drew stuffed animals from a super close view, using a technique known as foreshortening. This technique resulted in exaggerated features of the animals. The students also learned to transfer their foreshortened drawings to canvases using graphite rubbings. Intrigued by the color style of George Rodrigue, best known for his famous Cajun "Blue Dog" paintings, the students painted their animals in a similar, pop-art-style, using their favorite bold, bright colors.
