Watercolor Animal

I loved how this lesson was introduced with Finding Nemo! It got the entire class engaged and excited for the upcoming art activity. It was a lot of fun designing my own turtle and making it look like it was swimming underneath the water. The watercolor techniques I learned were very beneficial to making the water look real. If I were to extend this lesson into my classroom I would integrate it into a science lesson. This would be a great activity to use with students learning about animals and their different environments, especially ocean animals. Within our science class we can discuss the various animals that call the ocean their home. The students can then draw their favorite animal and the environment they live and complete the art activity with their water colors.
