The kindergarten students are currently working on drawing ocean creatures and then cutting them out and pasting them on painted backgrounds they made. We started out by reading a pop-up book about ocean creatures. Each student got a book of ocean creatures to look at for inspiration and as a visual reference. I showed them how to create a contour line drawing and then how to thoughtfully shade in their drawings. We reviewed how detail usually makes your drawings more interesting and unique. The students practiced drawing ocean creatures first before they started on their final pieces. For their final piece, they learned how to cover more area with color on their paper by rolling blue crayons on their sides for their ocean backgrounds. They then drew their ocean creatures and shaded them with colored pencils. They had to create a minimum of five ocean creatures. I will be posting pictures soon.
