Seasonal Greeting Card.
You must include some type of design characteristic of a tiger.
Think about the setting of your design. Write down your ideas and
create a rough sketch.
You will lightly draw your design onto pastel paper or drawing paper.
You will express your thoughts and feelings with art materials as you
engage in drawing, painting, or in using another art medium.

Materials:

Colored markers
Water color paints
Colored pencils
TAKE IT FURTHER:
Write a note to someone you care about to enhance this learning experience, someone who is
important to you expressing the personal qualities you appreciate in those people; write a thank
you note, write a get well note, write a "thinking of you" note, a congratulations note, and more.
These written notes could be sent inside the finished card product.

"Think about the postage stamp; it sticks to one thing until it gets there."
This is a great quote on perseverance by Joseph Billings.
