Koi Fish (Drawing and Crayon Resist) 5th grade

5th graders enjoyed learning to draw a koi fish. The directions for this drawing lesson are available on DEEP SPACE SPARKLE.  We looked at a video of different varieties of koi, and we learned that there are koi fish shows in Japan. I changed the lesson from tempera to crayon resist because I liked the idea of painting over the crayon colored fish with paint so they would appear to be under water. They look very beautiful in their ponds!
