For this project, our 7th and 8th grade artists created art focused on Vermont wildlife species. Students practiced techniques in drawing and painting to create realistic textures – from fur, to feathers, to scales and shells – that would bring their subjects to life. These artists also worked to ensure that their compositions had depth and balance, and that the habitats they depicted reflected the natural beauty of Vermont.
Many of our student artists plan to submit their artwork from this project to the Vermont Wildlife Education Fund’s annual wildlife art competition and art show!
