“N” is for Narwhal

 

Oil Pastel and Watercolor paintings with PreK-2

 

Students observed images and photographs of Narwhals in their natural environment. They used black oil pastel to outline the “n”, body, and fins.  They also added some details such as dots and speckles to one side of the narwhal, like we saw in some of the pictures we looked at.

Icy Ocean Waters

Children learned and used cool colors of watercolor—blue, green, and purple—to paint the water around the narwhal. They learned about the “wet on wet” technique; the students wet the paper first by painting with just water, and then they painted with the watercolor.
