Fish watercolor painting

The advanced art students began their watercolor unit by creating a value scale using watercolors then they were asked to sketch several tropical fish, choose one and paint it. We then put together a classroom aquarium on our boards. Once done with their practice fish, they had to draw and paint their final painting.

Name Character Drawing

The 8th graders were asked to turn each of the letters of their name into either an animal, person, or object(s). The results are astonishing!
