Design Your Own Dinosaur

The Kindergarten and First Grade art class had been asking me to teach them to draw a dinosaur. I should've studied up on the subject before I attempted this, they knew about everything there is to know about all the types of dinosaurs, and what they ate, and more. I just told them to make it look however they wanted to if they were the ones helping God on the day he created dinosaurs. Here is the Artsonia  online gallery for this project: Artsonia Dinosaur Gallery


I started them out by lightly sketching an egg shape (Did dinosaurs come from eggs? My class thought "yes") in the middle of their paper to be the body. Watch the video to see how we went from that point.

Music is from Disney's "Ice Age" - "Walk the Dinosaur", done by Queen Latifah in the movie, but redone in this version for a Kid's Travel Cd by "Kids United".
