Organic Line Fish (2nd Grade)

In this project, the 2nd graders and I talked about organic lines and contour drawing.  The students were instructed to draw  an organic "loopy" line.  They were to go slow and controlled with the line.  They were to draw at least 4 loops, and they need to make the loops big enough to turn them into fish.  The fish were drawn in sharpie marker, no pencils allowed! We talked about adding a lot of detail and texture to the fish.  Once they drew their fish they used watercolor paints to make the fish colorful!
