Art Camp: Draw and Paint Four Ocean Animals

This is an "Art Camp" class which meets four days in a row.  Each day students will create a different beautiful sea animal picture.  I will lead students through a step by step demonstration of how to make each animal using basic drawing and painting techniques.  Throughout the process students are encouraged to add their own creative touches to their artworks.  As students work, I always make sure to provide feedback, encouragement, and additional instructions as needed.  If time allows our young artists will have the opportunity to share their artwork with their classmates.

**Although each demonstration will be finished by the end of class, students may need or wish to continue working on their masterpiece after we have signed off for the day.  Everyone works at a different speed, and it's better to take our time than to rush!  

Day 1: Whale Tail
Day 2: Sea Turtle
Day 3: Coral Reef
