Woodland Style Art Practice Sheet (First Nations Art, Legend Style)

This worksheet has been designed to accompany a presentation which shows Woodland Style Art, and the art of Norval Morrisseau. Google images and you'll find a lot! I couldn't find any in the public domain that I could use on the worksheet. I show the students a variety of Woodland Style paintings, and discuss the flat colours, often bright colours (sometimes with concentric monochromatic shapes) and the distinctive black outline. Students have a difficult time creating this type of outline, usually keeping their lines all the same width, and having sharp angles, rather than flowing the lines together. I find I am often describing the lines as if they are ribbons. This worksheet is to give the students practice before they choose their own animal and complete a painting.
