Jasper Jones Fish

For this project, we learn about Jasper Jones. Jones used bright colors and used a stamping or smearing technique to create his artwork. We got to experiment with stamping and smearing with different objects. We used: apples, carrots, celery sticks, and spoons. We got to experiment with each object before we created our fish. When creating our fish, we had to follow certain directions. The face and fins need to be smeared gray. The body of the fish need to be stamped with the other objects. Once completed stamping the body of the fish, we cut it out with scissors. Then we glued it to a piece of construction paper. Below the fish we wrote with a marker the objects we used.

For mine, I used:
1. Apple
2. Carrot
3. Celery
4. Spoon

I could use:
1. Bottle Cap
2. Tooth pick
3. Pickle
4. Grape

Once completed with that, we then needed to stamp our initials at the bottom of the page. I used a carrot to stamp CJV with the grey paint.



An extension activity for a fourth grade class would be to teach about different types of fish in a local lake or pond. Finding out information like what they eat, where you can find them in the water, and how many eggs they lay etc. This would be a fun extension activity for students because they would learn information about fish and the local lake or pond.
