As promised in class, here is the HW for the next coop:

1 - Do some research on the Cerulean Wood Warbler: here are a few links. You may use others.

ID and map: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Cerulean_Warbler/id

Life History: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Cer ... ifehistory

SONG: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Cer ... ler/sounds

2 - Practice drawing the male bird using your tracing paper to help you... Please work on this to be able to quickly accomplish this in class next time. We will have to try to do ALL the rest of the drawing next coop and start color plan.

3 - Color samples for BOTH male and female birds. GOAL = using YOUR tools, be able to find a way to get the proper coloration of both birds. This may take even 6 tries or more. We discussed this at length in class .... Please let me know if you have any problems with this. You may have to purchase some cheap watercolor paper. Both Hobby Lobby and Michael's have it in a 8x10 type pad which is reasonably priced (and maybe you can use a coupon). If you would like me to provide this paper, get in touch with me and we can work it out.

Samples should be about 2x2" and have next to it the documented steps you followed to make it:

1) royal blue wcp
2) water
3) sky blue cp
4) green cp
5) yellow cp

IF YOU GET CLOSE- maybe make a *note- this is close to the right color... You may repeat the first steps of that specific trial and just change up one or two to try to get a closer replica of the birds color which you are please with.

Find attached the reference photos I had in class. You may print if you like and bring for personal use in class.

BRING BACK - Audubon plate picture, both tracing papers, your practice bird pictures, and your color samples pages.
