My third graders have recently been studying Explorers in Social Studies. They have been studying everything from Vikings to the Pilgrims, so I thought this would be a great time to do an art lesson on ships. I got the idea for this lesson from
Deep Space Sparkle.
This lesson was a lot of fun. First, I had my students paint the water with blue and white tempera paint. While the paint was still wet, they used a fork to carve waves into the paint. Next, students used construction paper to make their ships (small details were added with oil pastels).
Lastly, my students drew and cut out a sea monster. This was my favorite part of this lesson. I just love the creativity of my students.
These are great! I love the addition of the sea monster- reminds me of the famous sea monster *living* in the lake of my hometown- the Ogopogo.
