Kindergarten and First grade students with their Rainbow Fish
Mermaid by Lauren D. Sebastian, the charming little crab who was Ariel's sidekick in Disney's Little Mermaid movie, sang "Under the Sea" to try to keep the mermaid Ariel from following her curiosity and visiting the dangerous world above.

Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you

One of the students brought his grandmother to class! She was visiting from Massachusetts. Luke's grand mom drew an awesome Pacific Sea Nettle! His mom, Kristen, is a student in my adult art class. She drew a beautiful jellyfish, too.

Adult students and one 4th grader drew "zentangle" fish with ink. Zentangle is a relaxing method of drawing, using repeated patterns. These artists used lots of color in their masterpieces:

silver gouache Older students (grades 4 and up) used graphite powder and charcoal pencil to create fantastic undersea creatures. Deep sea sparkle was added with metallic silver gouache. Gouache (pronounced "gwash") is an opaque watercolor.
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devoting full time to floating
Under the sea

Under the sea, under the sea
