Crazy Texture Fish

After studying different types of lines, shapes, patterns and textures around them, 2nd and 3rd graders put their imaginations to the test.  They invented their own “funny fish,” as they came to be known as – fish containing as many designs and types of lines on them as possible.  They then tried a similar technique for the background: using crayons, they first covered their paper with different types of shapes, created color patterns by repeating the shapes within each other, and then found out what happened when they used watercolor over the crayons.  The crayon resisted the watercolor and made even more interesting patterns and textures.
