With step-by-step instructions and directed drawing slides, your students will have a fun and engaging experience while exploring the importance and use of ‘line’ effect in art with specific slides to demonstrate the artist Vincent Van Goh’s work ‘Starry night’. Making this product ‘Visual Art’ curriculum linked as well. If that is too complex for your students, you can always glance over or skip those slides and continue to the directed drawing instructions. It’s that versatile.

The lesson also includes a read-aloud video of ‘Edward The Emu,’ as well as an Emu informational video link for a fully immersive experience in linking science strands of curriculum. Rest assured, you can use these YouTube links or skip them to introduce your own Emu related text. I have even used Fur and Feathers in Year 5 as a reading stimulus in QLD, Australia.
