Penguins in the Desert?

Henri Rousseau was our inspiration for these sixth grade drawings.  The students were incouraged to use thier imaginations like Rousseau to draw animals in an enviroment.  Rousseau enjoyed going the zoo and looking at pictures of animals to grasp how animals looked, but he didn't always get the landscape correct.  We completed these drawing on 18x 12 paper with color pencils.  The emphasis was on layering and blending colors and creating changes in values.
