This project is always a lot of fun for my first graders. We started off by reading the book, Pattern Fish, by Trudi Harris. The kids enjoy identifying patterns as we read along. After finishing the book, students eagerly began drawing their own patterned fish, taking care to add details such as fins, eyes and of course, patterns!
Students were then challenged to color their drawings using a pattern. Bubbles were added around the fish using white oil pastel. We finished our pictures by adding shimmery watercolor over the entire picture.
