In our inquiry "Sharing the Planet," grade 1 students looked at some important and endangered animals that we share our planet's resources with. We looked at some photos of sea turtles and how artists use careful looking to break down objects in to basic shapes and can add color and details from source images. We used glue to outline the lines of our drawing to create a raised texture which made a nice barrier to fill in our shapes with the wonderfully messy chalk pastels. We tried using analagous colour "neighbours" to blend together and tried to show the difference in texture in the shell and the body.
