Whales to Scale

As combination science and art project, students selected randomly a whale to research then complete at a 1/12 scale. For every foot, we converted into an inch. The students drew the whale accurately to scale, then added color with chalk pastels and details with colored pencils. The whales are double sided so they can go in the windows at our art show. Opening March 11th from 5-7 at Gualala Arts.
