The guide teaches artists to start with simple shapes, add guide lines for legs, tail, and neck, then build the shell and head features with progressively more detailed lines. Supplies include a sketch book, pencil tools, glue, an eraser, and a detailed sample drawing. Finishing instructions encourage erasing unnecessary lines and taking photos for sharing with a Dream Broker showcase.","| \u003Cbr>GETTING CREATIVE\u003Cbr>Activity 5d | \u003Cbr>CULTURE 365-GETTING CREATIVE SERIES Presented in partnership with Dream Brokers\u003Cbr>Drawing a Spirit Turtle\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>with Phyllis Poitras–\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Jarrett |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| \u003Cbr>WHAT WE ARE MAKING TODAY |  |  |  |  |\n| Have you ever wanted to learn how to draw animals? Combine simple shapes and follow step-by-step instructions to see how easy it is to create great looking animal drawings. Line drawing is a simple art form but it is a key starting point for emerging artists. | Spirit animals can teach us about ourselves. The animals we connect to, that we may dream about, show us the traits and strengths that we should be honouring in our own lives at certain points of time.\u003Cbr>Today, Phyllis Poitras-Jarrett will lead you through the steps to draw a Spirit Turtle. |  | | Supplies Needed:\u003Cbr>Sketch book, detailed sample drawing, pencil, pencil sharpener, glue stick and eraser. |\n\nSTEP 1  \nPaste the sample drawing of the turtle in your sketch book. Find the key shapes on the body of the turtle. You will see:  \n􀁩An oval for the body  \n􀁩A smaller circle or oval for the head  \n􀁩A straight line connecting the body to the head  \n􀁩Straight lines for the legs  \n􀁩A short, straight line for the tail  \nIn the blank area next to the  \nsample drawing, draw the shapes of the turtle – the same shape, size and placement as in the sample.  \nDraw in guide lines for the legs and tail.  \nSTEP 2  \nIMPORTANT NOTE: By attempting this activity, you accept responsibility for your actions and indemnify SaskCulture, Sask Lotteries, contracted artists and/or its partners, officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, volunteers against all claims, actions, suits, demands, losses, expenses, costs or damages of every kind.  \nFor this and other Getting Creative videos,  \nvisit SaskCultureInc YouTube Channel or [SaskCulture.ca](SaskCulture.ca)  \nDraw a line around connecting  \nthe body to the head. Draw the turtle’s neck up to the head circle. Try to make your body outline the same as that in the sample drawing. Draw in the turtle’s nose and mouth.  \nSTEP 3  \n\n| \u003Cbr>STEP 4 | Draw lines to widen the turtle’s legs and claws. |\n| --- | --- |\n| Add lines around the legs and feet. Look at the photo and widen the legs and feet. The legs have a little bend. Add in five claws on each foot. |  |\n\nSTEP 5  \nCreate the turtle’s shell around the oval shape. The shell dips up at the back. Add in the tail – it is a small triangle.  \nAdd in the extra body underneath the shell.  \n| STEP 6 | Erase the extra guidelines that you do not need. |\n| --- | --- |\n|  |  |\n\nTIP:  \nNobody draws something  \nperfect the first time. Do not press too hard on your pencil. And, use your eraser to change lines until they look right to you.  \nSTEP 7  \nDraw in the head details: stripes going up the neck, and an eye.  \nRemember: practice makes your drawing much better. Each time you draw your ability to capture a more realistic look will improve.  \nSTEP 8  \nDraw in shell detail. First, draw a curvy line inside the bottom edge of the shell. In the space between this line and the bottom of the shell, draw small lines vertically.  \n| STEP 9 |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Next, draw another curvy line halfway up the shell. In the space between this line and the line below, add in more vertical lines. |  |\n\n\n| STEP 10 |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Finally, draw a half circle at the top of the turtle. In between the circle and the line below, add in more vertical lines. |  |\n\n\n| STEP 11 | Tidy up by erasing any lines you don’t need. Your turtle is complete. |\n| --- | --- |\n|  |  |\n\n| NEXT STEPS | Once you have completed all the drawings, take photos of your completed work and send it to your Dream Broker. The artist would love to see your work, and SaskCulture would love to add it to a showcase of student expression. |\n| --- | --- |\n|  |  |\n\n\n| \u003Cbr>ABOUT THE ARTIST\u003Cbr>Phyllis Poitras-Jarrett is a Métis artist from Saskatchewan whose art honour","cbCaiqZ80ZYn3IYO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqZ80ZYn3IYO","pdf",2881140,1,4,"English","en",105,"# What We Are Making Today\n## Supplies Needed\n## Steps to Draw the Spirit Turtle\n## Tips\n## Next Steps\n# About the Artist","[{\"question\":\"What is the main goal of Activity 5d?\",\"answer\":\"To learn to draw a Spirit Turtle by combining simple shapes with step-by-step instructions for animal line drawing.\"},{\"question\":\"What supplies are needed for the activity?\",\"answer\":\"You need a sketch book, a detailed sample drawing, pencil, pencil sharpener, glue stick, and an eraser.\"},{\"question\":\"How should you finish and share the artwork?\",\"answer\":\"After completing all the drawings, take photos of your finished work and send them to your Dream Broker for inclusion in a showcase of student expression.\"}]","GETTING CREATIVE - Activity 5d - Drawing a Spirit Turtle | PDF",1787827671,6,{"code":4,"msg":31,"data":32},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":33,"title":13,"keywords":34,"description":14,"schema_data":35,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":28},"getting-creative-activity-5d-drawing-a-spirit-turtle","",{"@graph":36,"@context":84},[37,52,67],{"@type":38,"itemListElement":39},"BreadcrumbList",[40,44,47,50],{"item":41,"name":42,"@type":43,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":45,"name":46,"@type":43,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",{"item":48,"name":12,"@type":43,"position":49},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/",3,{"item":51,"name":13,"@type":43,"position":21},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/getting-creative-activity-5d-drawing-a-spirit-turtle/150825/",{"url":51,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":41,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-09-04","2026-08-27",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"What is the main goal of Activity 5d?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"To learn to draw a Spirit Turtle by combining simple shapes with step-by-step instructions for animal line drawing.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"What supplies are needed for the activity?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"You need a sketch book, a detailed sample drawing, pencil, pencil sharpener, glue stick, and an eraser.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"How should you finish and share the artwork?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"After completing all the drawings, take photos of your finished work and send them to your Dream Broker for inclusion in a showcase of student expression.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":51,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":51},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":91},[92,96,99,103,108,112,117,122,127,130,134],{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":93,"show_sort_weight":94,"slug":95},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":98},80,"literature",{"id":21,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":100,"show_sort_weight":101,"slug":102},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":104,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":29,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":109,"show_sort_weight":110,"slug":111},"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":113,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":114,"show_sort_weight":115,"slug":116},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":118,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":119,"show_sort_weight":120,"slug":121},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":126},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":125,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":128,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":129},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":131,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":132,"show_sort_weight":131,"slug":133},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":135,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":136,"show_sort_weight":104,"slug":137},19,"General","general"]
