3rd Grade: Jelly fish

These jellies are getting our students ready for summer trips to the beach, although I hope none of students come across any jelly fish while they are there. In this lesson, the third grade mixed and painted their own tints and shades of a color. A tint of a color is when white is added and a shade is when black is added. The tints and shades were used to create a gradation scale in the background, as if the water is getting deeper and darker. Students splattered painted the background with white paint to add the look of bubbles. The jelly fish and seaweeds were added using oil pastels.
