Our peacock inspiration is from my Pinterest folder of bird art

The way I teach drawing is to have kids follow me step by step while I am on the dry erase board and they are on floor boards with their own paper. They get very good lessons on shape, form, positioning and design. My kids become very good artists using this "Follow Me" technique. 

These kids are not yet in kindergarten.

Thanks to this artist. I copied her post as you see in the drawing above. It is the master for my students to then copy. They loved this very much!!
