The Swan Drawing

Concourse Village Elementary School, Bronx

My story is about the steps to drawing a swan. I created my book by first brainstorming about a theme. I selected drawing because it is my favorite thing to do. Then, I wrote my haikus in practice panels. Some techniques I used were making the swan look realistic by adding color and shadow. I used different palettes to make my art look detailed. I learned that painting the swan with the chalk color made it look more realistic. I really liked working on the Morgan Book Project because I got to work with cool materials like gold and bugs!
