Happy Birthday Dr.Suess

March is Dr. Seuss's birthday, so I had the 2nd graders recreate their own fish in the style of Dr. Seuss's from the story "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish" We completed this project in two class sessions. The first one, we sketched and painted the fish and then in the second period we traced the with black marker, animated them with lines, cut them out and glued them down.

                                                     

 
 

Why is the Blue Dog Blue?

The 3rd grade students read the story Why is the Blue Dog Blue and studied the prolific art of Georges Rodrigue. I teach in a mainly Hispanic community so my students made connections to the chupacabra from their culture. They then drew  their own Blue Dogs, and painted them with water colors. They had so much fun and were so excited to complete these!

I love how these turned out for the 1st graders! First they painted them - they tried to incorporate line and pattern. Once the were dry, we went over them with black marker to define the shapes and really make them pop!
