Drawing Notes:

We use lines to show the reflection of the swan in the water, (rows 11 and 12). We draw the cloud a second time (upside-down) to show its reflection.

Did you find the hidden message?

Fun facts:

Since ancient times, swans have been symbols of purity, grace, and beauty. In fairy tales, swans often represent enchantment. Consider the ballet Swan Lake and the story it tells. Or, think about the many fairy tales which feature a swan or a flock of them.

To watch a swan swim is to be inspired by its eloquence and graceful movement. It seems to glide effortlessly over the surface of the water because we do not see the hard, constant work being done by its strong, webbed feet.
