Inquiry Project: Animal Artwork

For my EDCI 336 inquiry project, I decided to focus on my creative side. I love doing art, and art was my favourite class in high school. Since I started university, I have felt too busy to put the time in to continue pursuing this hobby. I see this inquiry project as the perfect opportunity to spend some time drawing and painting. 

I want to concentrate on using animals as my subjects. My teachable is biology, and one of the main reasons I am passionate about biology is my love of animals. I see this as an opportunity to draw some animals and learn a bit more about their form. My goal is to find some fun facts about each of the animals or groups of animals I draw too. Some useful resources for animal facts are Brittanica.com and the Smithsonian’s website.

This week I decided to start with foxes. I am a bit rusty when it comes to drawing but I think it went well.

It was a goal of mine to see a fox this May while I was in England and I did it! The fox was scampering through the English countryside in Dorset and I was overjoyed. Foxes are highly communicative members of the Canid family that are usually monogamous. They have adapted well to living in urbanized spaces and their nocturnal, cunning habits help them to be able to coexist in areas with humans.
