Description: For this peer activity, we used water colors to paint and under water scene using many different techniques! This activity was started by reading a story about animals that live under water and learning about some of their unique characteristics. We then completed a practice paper that consisted of learning four different painting techniques: wet on wet, creating designs with the end of our brushes, and using salt to add texture/form a reaction, and using crayons to see the resistance. By doing this it allowed us to learn what worked best and what we needed to improve for the main project. To start the main design we used the dry products first and drew on our underwater animals and sand piles. Then we were able to paint our water colors. Once done painting we added our salt to create the sand and let it sit and dry.
Extended Activity: To extend on this project you could have students create other landscapes! Like the sky, mountains, grasslands, or desert and include appropriate animals. Or having students paint sculptures or historic landmarks could also be a great way for them to add definition with colors and techniques.
