My group of 4th graders created these pieces in much the same way as my other class made their sunset seascapes with dolphins and seals - acrylic painted background and whales on black paper with chalk pastel. They added a splattering of white paint for a splash effect. Maybe this project was subconsciously inspired by the new movie, Big Miracle about the 3 gray whales caught under the ice in Alaska. ;)
Geez Mary, I had no idea that Humpback whales could breach that high! These are terrific and the splashes are so realistic. Kids love splatter painting don't they? Nice work-
I love the splash effect!! Adds to the element of movement:))
