Birds are near and dear to Jean Paul Riopelle. Pay homage to his love for them by creating an animation that brings a bird to life.

Activité 1 : Instructions for playing the game online
Draw 3 images of the same bird with its wings in different positions.
- Choose a bird in the image gallery;
- Make a rough sketch of the bird using your own style of line-making. Letting your creativity flow is more important than creating an exact replica;
- If you wish, share your creations through the RIO Gallery.
Activité 2 : Instructions for playing the game on paper
- Create a flipbook;
- Using an old notebook or book, draw a bird following Jean Paul’s style on the bottom right corner of the last page;
- On the page just before it, check to see if the first bird is visible (is the sheet of paper slightly translucent like tracing paper?) and trace the same bird, adding a small amount of movement in its wings;
- Repeat this step until you have at least 20 pages with bird drawings;
- Flip through the sheets quickly to watch the bird fly;
- Display the flipbooks in the classroom;
- If you wish, share your creations through the RIO Gallery.
