Aboriginal paintings

6. Watch For------Identify anything that you would like specifically observed during this lesson.
At this age, most children probably do not know what the inside of animals look like. It will be interesting to see what
objects are drawn inside the chosen animal as the students try to draw in terms of X-ray vision
