Thoughts on Illustrations…
• Completely visual and detail oriented, and he likes to add little treasures for kids to discover throughout his books
• Illustrating a character makes the character very real; a sketch of a character will actually conjure up a lot of details about that character
Time to Read• While reading,
point out the dinosaur drawings, taking time to note the colors and patterns.
Supplies Needed• 12” x 18” white
watercolor paper• Crayons• Liquid Watercolor
paints• Paint brushes and
water containers• Salt and rubbing
alcohol• •
• How-to-draw a dinosaur handout
• Photocopies of pages from the book
Set-up
• Have students write their name on back of paper.
• Spend a few minutes on the white board demonstrating different ways to draw dinosaurs. Refer to handout for how-to-draw techniques.
Part One: Drawing the Dinosaur• Encourage kids to
draw lightly with their crayons
• Once they like their lines, they can trace over it with a heavier hand
Part One: Drawing the Dinosaur• Encourage kids to
fill in small areas such as party lights, stripes, teeth, etc (add many details) with crayons
Part Two: Painting with Watercolors• After the drawing
is complete, use a tray of liquid watercolors to paint the background.
• Save painting the dinosaur until last to give background a chance to dry.
Part Three: Adding Texture• Sprinkling a few
granules of salt over wet watercolor imparts a magical quality to the painting.
Part Three: Adding Texture
• Demonstrate by dipping a cotton swab into a small container of rubbing alcohol and then applying it directly to wet watercolor paper. The effects are magical. Suddenly, a funny looking dot will appear—almost rubbery or
• lizard-like.
