Discussion

Draw along, then talk about the choices you and the artist made.

  1. What simple shapes did the lesson start with to build the snail?
  2. Where did you slow down or rewind, and what made that step tricky?
  3. How did you make your snail look "cute" -- the eyes, the size, the round shapes?
  4. What could you change to make your snail your own -- a new color, a pattern, or a background?
