Students will draw pictures of jars containing bugs.

Children will learn to look at the details of bugs and plants as they learn about symmetry and asymmetry.

• large white paper
• crayons
• black markers
• jar pattern (optional) Older children can do quite well drawing their own jar.

1. Show children a variety of bug amd plant drawings.
2. Teach them to look at the bugs from the top (symmetric) and from the side (asymmetric).
3. Have them draw a bug jar with pencil (younger children can use a pattern for this).
4. Have children draw bugs and plants, and a bug setting in their bug jars.
5. Next children go over pencil lines with black markers.
6. Finish with each child coloring their project with crayons.
