Today, we'll draw a pigeon together. First try drawing with a pen and regular paper.
Once you've practiced the new shape of a pigeon, draw it again using watercolor paper and a sharpie.
We'll paint the pigeon on another day.
If your child is a big fan of Mo Willems and his books such as Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! you could watch the Lunch Doodles series he recently recorded as the artist-in-residence for the Kennedy Center. Willems shows you around his studio, shares the process of illustrating his books, and draws. In the first episode, at the 16:30 mark, Willems talks through drawing his beloved pigeon cartoon. Maybe your child might prefer to draw a pigeon using Mo's technique.
