Whale Drawing
When children are really young and just learning about the world around them and how to draw it, a whale can be a whale. But as they get older, and can see all the many variations of species there are, they can start to notice all their different shapes and sizes too.
Most generic drawings of whales tend to have the blunt end Sperm whale shape, but Blue and Gray and Humpback whales have mouths that look more like the one above. All of the species are fascinating creatures, but it’s good practice to notice how different they are from each other, especially when it comes to drawing.
After all, if students happen to be writing a report about one, it helps to have a drawing that is as detailed as their writing. Those two skills go hand in hand with each other.
