Koi Fish

This was a fun project I did with several different grade levels. They were all successful. Second through fifth all enjoyed it. We learned different concepts such as overlapping, value, and print making for the red stamp or “chop” to sign their artwork. We learned about Japanese art and wrote a symbol that means friendship since Koi fish are a symbol of friendship. Students explored a variety of different mediums such as watercolor, oil pastel, chalk pastel, and red ink for printing
