3rd Grade Home Lesson - Week 3

Hello 3rd Graders and families! Have you ever heard of the author and illustrator Mo Willems? Maybe you know about his characters, Piggie, Gerald (the elephant) or Pigeon. These funny books have great dialog, or characters speaking to each other, and are easy to read! Turns out, his characters are easy to draw too! Let's all draw a Pigeon!

Start out with a circle for a head:

Then draw the neck (not too skinny!):

I like to add a gentle curve for the pigeon's chest and an almost straight line for the pigeon's back:

Then I connect the bottom of the chest to the end of the back or tail with a gently curving line:

Then add eye, beak, collar, wing and legs:

Now color, add a voice bubble, and put your pigeon in a background! What are they saying? What is happening around them? Are they going fishing? Have fun adding details!

Don't forget to add your completed work to our padlet!
