Activities

Everyone receives a bird handout with size frames in which to draw birds.
Part 1
- Draws four curvilinear doodles in the first four frames and two rectilinear doodles in the bottom two frames.
- The doodles must be closed shapes drawn with a single uninterrupted line.
Part 2
- Pass your doodles to the person on the right.

Using the doodles that have just been passed to you, apply the beak/eye combination in each frame.
The triangle and circle must stay in the same relative positions and at the same size (small variations OK).
The base of the triangle must touch the doodle line and face outward.
The circle must be inside the doodle.
