This lesson will encourage the studentsto learn color theory as well as have fun painting. This is a wonderfulinterdisciplinary study combining the visual arts along with science. Begin the lesson by discussing what is in the ocean. Ask yourstudents questions like, "What is found at the bottom of theocean?" "What kinds of colors might we see?" "Woulddifferent times of the day affect the colors?" Look at pictures ofoceans and saltwater fish and discuss the brilliant colors. Next, introduce the color wheel and have the students payparticular attention to how the colors are arranged. The "ColorUnder the Sea Painting" will give your students an opportunity tolearn color theory and put that theory into practice. Each painting willdemonstrate their creative thinking abilities, as well as their abilityto follow directions.

Usethe wet-on-wet technique with watercolors to add color to the paper.When the section has enough watercolor (you can sprinkle a small pinchof salt on it if desired), tear off a piece of plastic wrap and place iton top of the wet watercolor.

Paint the second fish using the secondary colors. A quick way toremember these colors is to remember the abbreviation for the wordgovernor: gov (green, orange, violet). Paint this fish by mixing theprimaries together to get the secondary colors. Paint the third fish with all six intermediate colors. Demonstratethe mixing of the colors: yg (yellow green), yo (yellow orange), ro (redorange), rv (red violet), bg (blue green), and bv (blue violet).

Students can select their favoritecolor for this fish. Paint the fifth fish with complementary colors. Use tints andshades of each of the two complements. Paint the sixth fish using an analogous color scheme. Include tintsand shades of each analogous color. Lightly sketch in the environment of the ocean. Include plants,rocks, coral, octopus, sunken ships or anything that sparks theimagination. The students will paint the background mixing all of thecolors needed. They are encouraged not to use the paint straight out ofthe bottle. Show highlights, middle tones and shadows of colors toachieve more interest based on a light source either from above or downin the ocean. Students may also add air bubbles to the fish and plantsto show life if they wish. The most important culminating activity is to mat and display eachpiece proudly with the artist's name for all to see. How excitingit is to see color under the sea!
