Shapegrams

DIY felt animal projects arranged in two rows. Each animal—an owl, dog, mouse, frog, fish, penguin, crab, and bee—is assembled using cut-out felt hearts to create faces, wings, fins, and feet. The bright colors stand out against a clean white surface.

Tony actually cut shapes from felt so he could demonstrate layering shapes in his tutorial video for the "Heartfelt Animals" Shapegram.

You could get yourself a membership today and share it with your students tomorrow! Great for Grades 2 and up. shapegrams.com/heartanimals

Diagram explaining two-point perspective. A house is drawn using two vanishing points on a horizon line, with labeled vanishing points, horizon line, and vanishing lines.

When drawing something at an angle, it’s important to remember that objects look smaller the farther away they are. Artists draw along vanishing lines to make their pictures look 3D.
