Sled dogs, dogsled teams, huskies - student art displays, adults & kids drawing classes, 3/5-6/18

In honor of the Iditarod dogsled races, in Alaska, and the shorter versions, (250 miles), we have in Maine, in March:

Kids class made the abstracted papercut dogsled teams. Working with scissors can be a challenge until one has had plenty of practice - even just to hold the scissors in a functional way! Same goes for drawing tools- pencils & crayons. We did used to learn that in school....

Adults worked from reference photos.
A) a blind continuous line drawing
B) continuous line drawing
C) dark background colored in, (negative space), creates white dog
D) dark area of dog portrait

Final drawings - work from any of the reference pics as you wish, including my renditions of silhouette stencil style dogs. Wish I could find digital files of the reference photos. Had found them online ages ago. Plenty more out there to work from.
