We've been creating animals from the farm for several weeks. As part of this series of lessons I have been showing kids images of these animals on the television in the classroom.
Artists look for inspiration and ideas when they create their artworks and that's why these chickens have such a wide variety of forms and colors. We may think that chickens are typically yellow, but when the kids saw photos of them in the art room they realized that chickens come in a wide variety of colors and species.
