CHALK DRAWING FOR BEE UNIT STUDY

Not every new unit or main lesson block gets a new chalk drawing and in some cases, one chalk drawing serves for several units as this one does. This chalk drawing has the image of an owl, the life cycle of a frog and a bee and beehive. While it's not my favorite chalk drawing, I think it serves the purpose of inspiring us throughout this unit and adds beauty to our homeschool space. Collected around the chalk drawing are the books and resources we'll be using for this series of units.

While this part of the chalk drawing only took 20 minutes, the owl took 65 minutes and the life cycle of a frog took 20 minutes bringing the grand total for this chalk drawing at 1 hour and 45 minutes. That may not seem too bad for a 4' by 6' drawing, but compared to other images, it was. Also, I can't say I love the bee part!! I do wish I would have made a hexagon pattern with a bee in the beehive. But there's always next time!

For this drawing, I used by Sargent Art Square Chalk Pastels as well as a number of resources as drawing inspiration.
