Drawing Dreams Lesson Plan

Guide 2nd and 3rd graders to combine human and animal elements using visual references and their imagination to create linear character drawings that will later be used to form overlapping designs.

Incorporating both human and animal features nurtures creativity, enhances observational skills, and supports flexible thinking, encouraging students to blend diverse characteristics into expressive art.
