Kindergarten fish cut outs

After coming upon this blog post on Pinterest,  I felt inspired to teach this project myself.  Results=AMAZING!

The Kindergarten students really blew me away on this one.  This was a project that every single student's artwork turned out great. Like frame and hang on the wall worthy.  And although they definitely had to follow step-by-step instructions, there was room for each student's personal touch and unique style to shine through.

To begin this project, students were asked to imagine a lake, an ocean, a river or the beach and say what colors they saw.  With the colors that they visualized, they created a flowy watercolor painting.  


Next students folded black pieces of paper in half and cut out a fish shape.  On the fold of the paper, they cut a ‘hill’ and a ‘triangle.’  Next they cut out shapes such as squares and circles to create interesting negative space within the fish body.  


By gluing the fish onto the watercolor background, a beautiful underwater scene was created.
