In our study of the peacock, we discuss both specifics about the bird and its appearance, as well as its significance to India.
We began by drawing our peacocks together. We worked with our long lines and curving lines to create the feathers and the body, we then used small shapes for our details like the beak and eyes.
Once drawn, we outlined our peacocks with black crayon to prepare us for our painting.
We then move into painting coloring our peacocks. The bodies of the birds are colored with pastel, the feathers and background are painted with watercolor.
We then created the "eyes" or circles at the ends of the peacock feather. These dots are drawn on separate paper then cut out and glued onto our peacocks.
Once the eyes are colored (using crayons) and cut out, they are glued onto our peacock. Students then can add their own decorations or backgrounds into their artwork after this last step.
