It is the end of the school year, and during our “free time play” I have been able to squeeze in some fun art for the kids to go along with our ocean theme. Our simple art project consisted of coloring on white construction paper an ocean theme. The trick is to use bright colored crayons and to press really hard. Once they finished their under water ocean scene, then they used blue water color to paint on top and around their sea animals to make it look like their artwork is under water. The bright colored crayons really pop because the wax in the crayons doesn’t hold the blue paint. Here is the process:
We started by drawing a picture of sea animals under water. First, we made a circle map on the board of different things that we could see in the ocean, and then the kids drew their picture. The key is to make sure there is no white in their drawing {which is always a difficult task :)}.
If we have time, next week we can write sentences about our ocean picture, describing all of the colorful animals that we see in the picture! 🙂
