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.
