YOU MAY PRINT THE ART PROJECT NOTES BELOW.

BEGINNING
Start out by drawing lightly at first so you can erase later.
Use basic shapes to work out the design. The largest shape will be a teardrop shape, but it is sideways. Draw long ovals for the front flipper and ovals for the head and rear feet.  It does not need to be perfect.

DEVELOPING
The front flipper has a curve like a knee going front that makes it look like a backward number "7." The flipper is not straight but has curves going back and forth on the front edge and on the back edge.

Draw the top of the shell in the shape of a long narrow oval with a point at the back.

The top shell, head, and flipper have a pattern of scales. Lightly draw a grid of lines that make box shapes on the flipper and on the shell, but don't make it perfect, let some be different sizes and irregular shapes.  draw around the inside of the shapes of the grid so it looks like boxes inside a net. Erase the grid leaving spaces between the boxes, (remember I said to draw it lightly so you can erase). The bottom of the shell has simple lines like for the scales and is plainer than the top.
Erase all the extra lines and go over the lines you want to keep.

SHADING
Put shadows underneath the turtle. Use shading to make the far flipper look darker, use shading under the neck and chin. The top of the shell is much darker than the bottom but be careful that you do not lose the pattern.

Draw wavey lines for the water effect.

Parents and teachers and Homeschool families will find many ways to use this project.

DEVELOPING
Draw several curves going inward on the arch for the wrinkled edges. Draw three or four guidelines on the small triangle to help keep the spurs even and in line. Across the guidelines draw bumps for the spurs of the shell. Draw the two larger spurs on the bottom like lopsided letter "V" pointing down and back. The bottom edge curves upward a little and is wavey.

YOU MAY PRINT THE ART PROJECT NOTES BELOW.

BEGINNING
First, determine the horizon, in this case, it is the hills in the background, the horizon should be high on the picture, but leave room for the clouds.
Draw lightly at first so you can erase later.
Use simple lines sketch a few hills the far river banks and the curved road, keep in mind you are creating a background, middle ground and foreground.
Use basic shapes to design the covered bridge. Use a rectangle for the side, and front a triangle for the front top a parallelogram for the roof. You are only doing the design at this point you will do details later. It is ok to use a ruler or straight edge to draw the bridge, all good craftsmen know when to use tools. The straight lines of the bridge will give an interesting contrast to the picture
Do not put the covered bridge in the center that is boring put it between the center and the edge of the picture that makes it interesting.

DEVELOPING
The clouds are the big summer ones that go up high from the horizon. Start by lightly drawing the fluffy humps of the cloud then draw the bottoms going across. Draw one cloud behind the other make them huge.

Add detail to the bridge by drawing the post that holds up the roof use three verticle lines. Next draw lines from the top of one to the bottom of the next. Draw around the lines to make them thicker like huge beams. Draw one verticle line and two slanted lines for what is showing through the entrance of the bridge.

Use a lot of long lines back and forth for the water.
Very gently add shadow to the clouds.

This next part takes a lot of time to do well so do not rush it. Add texture to the trees and bushes by drawing lots of tiny rounded "M" and "N" shapes. Add texture to the bridge by drawing lines for the wood. Use dashes across and more at an angle for the shingles for the roof.
Add rocks to the water and the road.
Give the river bank texture by drawing choppy lines that down at an angle.
Use shadow inside the bridge and under it.

Use erasers to clean up your picture.

  • You can use it as a lesson by itself.
