1st Grade Dr.Suess Fish

One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish!

The 1st graders were busy getting ready to celebrate Dr. Suess' Birthday by drawing these whimsical cartoon fish.  We first looked at Dr. Suess' drawings in the book, One Fish, Two Fish and talked about the animated features, the big eyes and fanciful curling tales of his fish.
The students were asked to choose one color for their fish, just like in the book, and then drew them on large paper in chalk pastel.  The final step was to outline in black oil pastel.  They certainly had fun drawing these!
