Stage 2 students will be exploring images of animals in close-up, creating their own images by cropping pictures to highlight features of interest. Students will then use drawing and painting media to make their own artworks based on these cropped images. One key step in producing a pleasing image is to start with a good photograph. I have included a few galleries to give you some ideas of the kinds of pictures that might be appropriate. Students can select their images, based on their own interests.
