First Grade Warm/Cool Fish Prints

First graders found out all about Japanese fish printing, "Gyotaku"......but we didn't use real fish! Long ago Japanese fishermen would paint a fish that they had caught with black ink and press a piece of newspaper on top of it to create a print, this process was used to record to size of their catch! We also learned all about warm and cool color schemes, fish habitats and even used found objects (corks) to print along the bottom of our artwork to create coral. What wonderful art learning was had by all!

Second graders have been learning about directional lines, warm/cool colors, pentagons, triangles and hexagons! Can you find vertical lines, diagonal lines and horizontal lines in their spider webs? Each student got to choose between a triangle, pentagon and hexagon shape for their web, and paint either warm or cool colors. We read many books about spiders to help us with creating our own. There are many more spiders hanging up in the lobby at school!
