Dividing up your fish …

Dividing up your fish … Your task: • Draw out a fish shape to fill the A 4 Page (if you are really struggling use one of the templates) • Divide up your fish into sections which you can add colours to in the style of Scarpace's’ work.

First Layer on your fish… Your task: • Use the sewing needle & thread to sew into the paper to follow one of two of the lines • If you are not a confident at sewing then ask for help & use a running stitch. If you are confident use any type of stitch you know (eg. Cross stitch) • This will add texture to your work KEY = Running stitch = Outline of fish

Second Layer on your fish… Your task: • Use watercolours to add some beautifully bright colours to the different sections of your fish • Remember NOT to add wet paint next to wet section you have just painted or the colour will bleed into the other • Look at Scarpace’s work to help KEY = Running stitch = Outline of fish

Final Layer on your fish… What can I use to ad texture & patterns t my fish? Be resourceful & Us your imagination!
