Fifth Grade Chalk Sea Animals

This 2 week lesson involved studying and choosing a sea animal. Then drawing it onto black construction paper with glue lines. The next week when these are dry, students looked at the color wheel to choose analogous colors. Analogous  colors  are side by side on the color wheel. We colored in the spaces between glue lines with chalk, using analogous color choices. Using a finger we blended the chalk to meld the colors together. I think the artwork is stunning in its vividness.
