A. Introduction-
| Discuss student art show at Audubon Zoo with the students. |
| |

B. Development-
Have students read the brief biography of Megan Coyle and study her animal collages.
Have students read and respond to questions from the Student Activities: Ways to Portray Animals in Art, Animal Collages, and Setting and Color.
Discuss Megan Coyle’s “painting with paper” technique. How does she use texture and color for her animal collages? How are her animal collages different than her portraits?
Discuss the importance of setting and color. How can they convey a certain mood? What can both do to tell you more about a specific animal? |

C. Practice-
| Students will use laptops to research their animal and create a sketch. Sketches must be discussed with an approved by the teacher before they can move on to the final draft. |
| |
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
Students will make a collage.
Distribute collage making materials. Instruct students sketch the animal first before collaging pieces of paper on top of the drawing. The sketch will serve as a guide for the students to help them get the likeness of the animal. |

E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
8th grade students will be doing the Reptile Encounter Exhibit. Because they have more experience with technique, they have been given the animals that require more detail. They also have more animals to choose from. 8th graders will also be given a larger canvas to work on than the other grades.
7th grade students will be doing the African Savannah Exhibit. They will be working on a smaller canvas and have less choices than the 8th graders. Their animals do not require as much small detail work.
6th graders will be doing the Louisiana Swamp Exhibit. They have the least amount of animal choices with more familiar animals. They will work on the smallest canvas of all the grade levels. We will focus on adding light and shadow since this is a new technique for them. |
