Tropical Fish Sketchbooks

1 Dec

This week our little artists got to decorate their very own sketchbooks to take home! We went with an underwater theme and learned how to draw tropical fish.

We played with the idea of drawing things not fully shown on a page–like a fish peeking out from the top left corner. Some of the kids even drew on the back of their sketchbooks to continue the scene.

With this project, we learned about “point of view”. Point of view means the perspective the artist has when drawing the picture. With this drawing, our point of view was looking down at the fish.

After the kids finished coloring their sketchbook covers with markers, they could take them home and keep the creativity flowing! Encourage your kids to draw in their sketchbooks and remind them that every drawing does not have to be perfect–that’s the point of a sketchbook.

Remember to sign your kids up for Session C! It’s right around the corner!
