Tempera Turkey Painting

This project uses the same drawing technique that I posted about here, but is drawn in a large format (about 12" x 18") and painted with tempera paint.
I let the students finish the feathers in whatever manner they wished – either realistic or with fun patterns. My goal was to have them practice their radial drawing with the feather lines that went out from the body. I compared it to the lines that radiate out from the sun, which most students seemed to grasp, even the 1st graders.
