kindergarten ocean collage
I found this idea in The Great Big Art Activity Book. This was an end of the year lesson for my kindergarteners. Their cutting skills were much better as well as their drawing skills. This took three 50 minute class periods.
On day one we painted the ocean and the sand and took paint combs through the paint to create textures.
This took about thirty minutes so at the end of class I read Way Down Deep in the Deep Blue Sea by Jan Peck and illustrated by Valeria Petrone. It's a great predictable text that children can read along with you.
On day two we painted a multi media paper with four colors and used paint combs to create the textures.
We added white to the brown to use for sea shells.
On day three we drew our ocean animals and plants on the back of our painted papers to create the collages. Lastly we traced the edges with a black oil pastel.
The students enjoyed creating sharks and various creatures!
