Ocean Creatures

Year 2 children learnt how to make a silhouette.  From their sketchbooks they selected their two favourite outlines, which were then drawn onto black paper.  We then discussed tints and practiced onto a piece of paper.  Once they were confident with tinting a colour they began applying paint to a A3 piece of paper.  The children gave their finished painting a coat of PVA glue, which becomes shiny when dry. They then decided on the placement of their sea creatures and glued them in place.
Because I wanted a watery look to the finished piece I decided to laminate them.
