Exploring materials for our underwater pictures

This afternoon we have been exploring materials and deciding which ones to use to add more detail to our underwater pictures. First we looked at pictures of underwater plants and coral and talked about the colours and the shapes. Then we tried out lots of different materials on a piece of paper to test the colour and texture and to see if we thought they would look good on our underwater picture. We used pencils, felt pens, chalks, oil pastels, poster paint and thick acrylic paint.




Then we decided which ones we wanted to use on our finished pictures. The bubble background pictures we made yesterday were dry, so we could add the plants and weeds to make them look even better!


To finish our pictures we just need to cut out our colourful fish and stick them on our backgrounds - check back to see photos of our finished pictures!
