Animals in Art invites students to observe birds, insects and animals in the sky, water, land and underground—noticing their shapes, sizes, textures, stripes and spots. Through five engaging activities, children draw three-part animal stories, depict themselves with animal friends, make animal masks for role-play, stamp animal patterns and build a cosy model home for a pet.
