Question

review the text.
one great thing about making art is that you can use almost any supplies. in this project, you will create animal silhouettes from three simple supplies: old magazines, cardboard, and glue.
first, find a picture of an animal that you like. copy its outline onto a piece of cardboard, and cut out the cardboard silhouette. next, cut narrow strips from the magazines. the pages you choose will determine what colors the animal will be.
now, glue the strips side by side onto the cardboard shape, with the ends extending beyond the cardboards edges. trim the strips carefully along the edges. ta - da! your colorful animal art piece is finished.
which best shows that the authors purpose is to teach readers how to make animal silhouette art?
the author describes what the animal art will look like.
the author gives step - by - step instructions for creating the animal art.

Explanation:

To determine the author's purpose of teaching how to make animal silhouette art, we analyze the options. Describing what the art looks like doesn't show a teaching (instructional) purpose. However, giving step - by - step instructions (like "First... Next... Now...") on creating the art directly shows the author is teaching the process.

Answer:

The author gives step - by - step instructions for creating the animal art.
