These images for the cell parts were drawn in Art Class. The class reviewed the parts of the cell then each student was assigned a part to draw and paint.
Students drew the cell part with a sharpie and then painted it with watercolor.
Afterward the art teacher took photos of each drawing and placed them in a Google Drive Folder and shared with the teacher.
After the images were shared. One image for each part was uploaded into Canva and the background was removed. (If you don't have Canva for EDU you can use remove.bg.com)
