Abstract | In the first half of the 1800s, John James Audubon roamed the wilds of America attempting to draw all the birds in their natural habitat. He published his life-sized paintings in a huge book entitled "Birds of America." Audubon developed a unique system of depicting the birds in natural poses, such as flying. After shooting the bird, he would wire it to a wood frame with a wire grid in the desired pose. He drew the same grid lightly onto a piece of paper, then he drew the bird over the grid. In this article, students draw a turkey from life. Their drawings demonstrated an attention to detail--including claws, bumps on the head, and the wattle--that would not have been possible without working with a live turkey.
