Rain Forest Painting, Grade 1

Background coloured with oil pastels.

Fill in the Gaps with Watercolour

The biggest difficulty for the children was to "think big". The entire piece of paper needed to be the "rain forest background", not just a tiny little corner!

Sketched Ocelot

In school they had all chosen an endangered animal by themselves and had done some extensive research on that particular animal. I let them pre-sketch their animal several times on a whiteboard, until hey were happy with the outcome.
