Primary and Secondary Color Fish!

I have taught a version of this lesson since maybe my second year teaching.  It's fun project where students create a full painting and use all of the primary and secondary colors.  This is the perfect lesson to review color mixing and painting procedures.  ​

This year, my first and second graders used bingo daubers (thank you Cassie Stephens for the idea!!  We love using them!) to draw the fish and the backgrounds.  The bingo daubers help my kids to draw BIG and we don't have to draw with pencil first.  

On the first day of the lesson, we drew the fish and the backgrounds with the bingo daubers.  They made six fish for the six primary and secondary colors.  We began with big circles and then I demonstrated a few different ways to approach drawing the fish.  On the second and third day, we painted the primary and secondary colors.  First grade took two days and second grade took just one.  For second grade, I gave them a checklist of the colors they needed to have represented and challenged them to complete the list on their own.  On the final day, we made light blue for the water and painted the rest of the background.  

I loved all of the details they created, too.  Many of my kids are knowledgeable about fishing, so they had a lot to add!
