Good Morning, we hope you are all
enjoying the lovely weather this week!
Today’s blog is all about getting
creative!
This half term we would have been
looking at observational drawings and teaching the children pencil skills so
they are able to create their own artwork of different creatures you would find
at the seaside.
We have many great artists in Years 1 & 2 so we are sure
there will be some wonderful artwork created over the next few weeks!
To start today's activity, split a piece of paper into quarters show the children the pictures below. Ask your child to draw a goldfish, sea shell, jelly fish and crab in the four boxes.
Once your child has created their drawings, discuss them with them your child. What do they think they have done well? What would they improve next time?
Once your child has completed their first attempt, they can now look at the following links and learn step by step how to draw each picture. Whilst your child is creating their new drawings you could encourage them to make the drawings look more realistic by discussing: outlines, patterns and shadings to create a 3D effect (each step is explained on the drawings guides).

Once your child has completed their artwork they can compare their original and new drawings. You could ask which they think is better and why.
We hope your child enjoys learning how to draw sea creatures.
Below are a selection of seaside related creative activities you may also like to try with your child.
