Second Grade Snorkeling Artworks

Second Graders have worked hard creating this artwork in several stages. After reading the book" I am the Best Artist in the Ocean", we painted cool colors to create our oceans. Next I photographed kiddos. You can barely tell, but many of them had their cheeks all puffed out as if holding their breath under water!  Then we learned to draw a variety of sea creatures and used crayons to color with warm colors. Lastly students used a template to make a diving mask, draw a pattern with markers, and glued a plastic film behind as goggles. After everything was cut and glued. I added a straw as a snorkel!  Several versions of these are  floating around online and this is our!s What a fun way to create our self portraits!
