Students will study five landscapes from different Dr. Seuss books and add one of their own characters to each one. Students will set up compositions making a unique color scheme, and materials will be demonstrated at the beginning of each class.

General class structure: The first 20 min. students will sketch an imaginary character or animal (it could be a cartoon-y version of themselves) on tracing paper. Students will be guided on the height and width for it to fit into the landscape. They will be shown 2 ways to transfer their character image onto the final landscape.
Second, they will draw the landscape in tier own way, adding or subtracting elements, or changing colors after it is penciled in. They will pencil in their character before adding color.
We encourage independence with our youngest learners; all children’s classes are designed to be drop-off only. Grown-ups are not permitted to stay in the classroom with their children.
