1 Fish 2 Fish

Words cannot express my love for Dr. Seuss and his imaginative books and illustrations! In the art room, using his books is the perfect way to connect art and literature! I did this project with my Kindergarteners last week in honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday. We read the book 1 Fish 2 Fish Red Fish Blue Fish together and came up with all kinds of rhyming words of our very own!

To begin the art project, students were given a white 12x18" paper and painted their stripes across from the left to the right. While that was drying, we drew our fish on each color of 6x9" paper and cut them out. Lastly, we glued the fish on the striped paper and displayed them next to our library! 

Dr. Seuss Week!

We are getting ready to have the Cat in the Hat visit our school.  What better way to welcome him than an art display dedicated to Dr. Seuss himself?  Here are three examples of projects that we have been working on:

3rd graders drew portraits of the Cat in the Hat -

Another 3rd grade class made these fun fish paintings:
