This is Lesson 2 in a series of 5 lessons that explores visual conventions and drawing processes and materials, to create drawings that communicate ideas, perspectives and meaning.

Inspired by Paris Owen’s different portraits of butterflies, in this lesson students will:

• Use visual conventions to compare drawings.
• Create their own drawings using similar visual conventions as Paris’ work.
• Describe and compare the visual conventions they used in their own work with their peer’s work.
