Project #8 - Rainbow Fish Collage


For our next peer lesson, Ms. Anderson and Ms. Deslauriers taught us about paper collages. They reviewed the book Rainbow Fish, and then instructed us with our art project. We were instructed to draw out a fish of any sort, and then to trace it with black marker. After we cut it out, we then had to rip out small pieces of paper to make a collage on our fish. We could use any colors that we wanted. We reviewed primary and secondary colors. We also reviewed that a collage was any paper or pictures put together in an artistic way. We could then add sequins to our fish to make it look like the Rainbow Fish.

For an extentsion activity: I would have students create a fishbowl on a bulletin board. We could have it measured out and make sure that the bulletin board would fit the fishbowl. We could then place our fish inside the bowl. Also, for writing, we could have students write a small story about their fish that they drew. We could have the students also share their stories when they were finished with them.
