Observe the theme’s shapes
Before choosing colors, locate beaks, open or folded wings and tail feathers. Separate foreground and background, then test a short palette on scrap paper. Repeat a color to connect details in different parts of the picture.
After the activity
Compare two bird pictures and name differences without assuming they all share a size or way of moving. Recognize birds through visible features and compare beaks, wings and tails in different silhouettes.
Try a small palette
Choose three or four colors and test them together on scrap paper. Repeat a color in separate areas to connect them visually, or leave some spaces white. With markers, place a protective sheet underneath and check whether ink shows through.
