![]() Have them choose between 2 or 3 colors of construction paper. Now finish off the drawing by completing the legs (stress skinny rectangles), add a tail and a mane.Īfter the stripes are added with white glue or glue sticks ( I used both, so use whichever works for you best) it’s time to create the background. ![]() In many cases it won’t even look like a zebra until the stripes get added. This drawing is designed to be boxy and simple. Draw a long neck, a back and then a back leg. Almost there…įrom the bottom of the jaw, draw a straight line down to the bottom of the paper (legs). Put oil pastel on bottom of vertical line and draw a curved line for the jaw. Place oil pastel on top of the line and draw a straight horizontal line for the top of the head. ![]() Then, draw a short vertical line in front of the eye (nose). To make it easier for the kids, we start by drawing a dot for the eye and placing it near the top corner of the paper. Using a pencil encourages small, detailed drawings and that wouldn’t work for this type of project. I use this medium a lot when drawing larger pictures because it forces just that: larger drawings. On a sheet of white sulphite paper, we drew a zebra with black oil pastel. These are the instructions to make torn paper zebras with your class. Here’s a photo I snapped of a zebra exhibit at the Los Angeles Museum of Natural History where an art lesson idea was ignited! Whether you use paint or decide to rip up paper to create these striped animals, your class is sure to have fun designing their paper zebra. Doesn’t matter how you draw the body, put some black and white stripes on it and you’ve got yourself a paper zebra. From an art teacher’s point of view, zebras are a sure thing for an art lesson.
