Coral Reefs with Sea Turtles

My Animals and Their Habitats art class explored a variety of media in making these collage pieces. We first created a background of wet on wet watercolor sprinkled with salt. Once dry, I gave the children cotton balls and small strips of cardboard to created printed coral and seaweed. Sea turtles in a choice of media, as well as tropical fish were added to their underwater scene. I enjoyed seeing the kids putting their own spin on these collages.
