Grades 1st-5th. Dive into a world of creativity! Students will transform a simple shoebox into their own imaginative underwater scene. Using clay, pipe cleaners, paint, and recycled materials, they’ll bring their creations to life with colorful coral reefs, curious fish, mermaids, and mysterious sea creatures. Along the way, students will explore ocean ecosystems and discover how artists draw inspiration from the beauty of nature.
By the end of the class, students will be able to:
- Explore ocean ecosystems and marine life through art and discussion.
- Create an original underwater scene using a variety of 2D and 3D materials.
- Experiment with clay, paint, recycled materials, and mixed-media techniques.
