Mrs. Wall's class chose to draw pictures of fish. Each child researched different fish and then drew a fish on the mural. Children then added coral, seaweed and other decorative elements to the mural. We learned to draw the outside or contour edge of the fish first, then adding structural details. Each child used pastel chalk to color their fish and then helped blend chalk to create the background for the mural. Beautiful job!
I am an art teacher in a rural school district and I am passionate about making a difference in the lives of the students I teach. When I first started this blog many years ago I had more time to write and over the last few years I haven't posted as much. Public education has been changing and I hope to offer some encouragement and support to others during the coming months. Thanks for checking in.
