  3. Day 1 looked at video on Amate Bark Paintings and looked at different examples. Starting drawing had to have animal/bird. I had different examples for them to look at. I had them sponge paint browns/tans ontop of cardboard to give bark like effect.

    Day 2 Students drew their sketch ontop of their cardboard and traced with sharpie.

    Day 3 Painted with bright neon colors

    Day 4 Re-traced sharpie if needed
