Ocean Scene

 This lesson delves into the exploration of marine life beneath the ocean's surface using a variety of artistic mediums, including watercolor and crayon. It commenced with a visual presentation highlighting diverse watercolor techniques and their applications. Through guided instruction, students practiced these techniques on scratch paper, totaling six in all. Upon completion, students transitioned to their main project. Displayed on the screen were various examples of sea creatures, providing inspiration, while students also had the liberty to search for images on their own devices. The project encouraged independent creativity, allowing students to select their preferred marine animals and underwater scenery, with the stipulation of incorporating at least three elements evocative of the sea. Initial sketches were rendered in pencil, and later overlaid with crayon coloring, excluding the water background. The artwork required the incorporation of three distinct watercolor techniques. Upon completion, students' work was placed on drying racks and subsequently displayed.

An extension activity could involve science and biology. The student can research different sea animals.
