## Resource

Today I want to draw a monarch butterfly's metamorphosis. We'll fold our paper into four sections. In each section, we'll draw a part of the metamorphosis. This picture will have an egg laid on a milkweed plant, a caterpillar, a chrysalis, and finally a monarch butterfly. I'll let you know which colors appear in nature, but if you don't want to use those colors, that's your artist's choice. Imagination Draw Along is an intentionally calm space for artists to develop confidence in their decisions making skills by making artistic choices. It's a safe space because there is no wrong way to do art. Here are the three ideas your imagination can wonder about based on our picture: When larva pupates, or becomes a butterfly in the chrysalis, what do you think is happening in there? What stage of metamorphosis do you think would be the most fun: being an safe egg? being a hungry caterpillar? being a changing chrysalis? or being a flying butterfly? Larva eat milkweed leaves to grow big and strong. What foods make you feel big and strong?
