My son’s fascination with jellies hasn’t waned since we did our first jellyfish activity (check out the awesome tunnel book we made here). When I picked up Bob Barner’s book Fish Wish at the library for our youngest boy, I marveled at the amazing art – especially the two pages full of floating jellyfish. Barner’s book was the inspiration for this art project. Supplies 1 sheet of thin white gift wrap tissue paper (or perhaps used dryer sheets?) 1 piece of blue paper Grey yarn Glue stick Scissors Pencil White glue Jellyfish body patterns (download the ones we used here) Book Before we created our own mixed-media jellyfish art, we read a wonderful book by Twig C. George. What I loved about Jellies: The Life of Jellyfish is that it was written with a child in mind. (It starts “If you were a jellyfish …”.) It was hard to imagine a “bump and sting” lifestyle, but that’s precisely what George’s book had us doing. Seventeen kinds of jellies were pictured and identified, giving my son and I plenty to discuss about their similarities and differences. This book is, of course, non-fiction, but it read like a wonderful fiction adventure in which we both pondered living as a jellyfish would! Writing When we were done reading, we put the book aside, and I gave my son some jellyfish writing paper to record five facts he’d learned. (Writing is my son’s achilles heel, so whenever I can sucker him into doing it, I will.) Download this writing paper here. Art Now it was time to make our ‘underwater’ masterpiece. I gave my son the patterns and showed him how they’d be put together. Download a PDF of the patterns (top) here. It was up to him to decide which jellies to make and how many. Now he traced the patterns onto the thin tissue paper and cut them out. (Cut carefully, the paper tears easily!) Note: In order to make it to swimming lessons in time, I helped with the cutting. Once cut, we used a gluestick and layered the tissue onto the blue paper to make the jellyfish. Lastly, he cut and attached random lengths of grey yarn at the bottom of each jelly as stingers. Some dots of white school glue did the trick. The final result was amazing!

A fine art underwater photograph of a Caribbean reef shark in the Bahamas. Title: "Last of its Kind" All fine art prints are printed using archival luster paper and inks. All 11 x 14 and 16 x 20 inch matted prints are shipped mounted to a white acid-free mat and backing board. The 11 x 14 inch matted print contains a 7.25 x 11 inch photograph. The 16 x 20 inch matted prints contains an 11 x 16.5 inch photograph. All metal prints are printed using a dye sublimation process that bonds the inks into the high-quality glossy aluminum sheet. An aluminum mount is attached to the back of the print so it floats an inch off the wall. No framing is necessary and all mounting hardware is included with your print. Aluminum prints are moisture resistant and have a higher archival lifespan than paper (100+ years). These metal prints can even be installed outdoors as long as they are kept away from 'constant' direct sunlight. Note: Your print will NOT have the watermark shown on this online image. Details about the photograph: I photographed this lonesome Caribbean reef shark swimming across the sandy bottom of Walker's Cay in the Bahamas to evoke their importance to the marine environment. Sharks are being removed from our oceans in unmanageable numbers to satisfy the growing popularity of shark fin soup. The shark's undeserving reputation portrayed by sensationalized TV programs such as Shark Week and movies like Jaws does not make them a favorite amongst the general public thus their protection is rarely sought. Without sharks, our oceans and reefs will likely suffer. Thus came the idea of portraying this last surviving shark in an empty ocean in this underwater photograph. Hopefully we will all learn to appreciate these incredible creatures before it is too late. View the other underwater photographs I sell in my shop: TheLivingSeaPhoto.etsy.com
These are really easy to make and so effective. I was really proud of Marli for what she achieved here. She really enjoyed it and this was evident by her continuing it until it was finished. Just the standard kinder grade paint was used. You can do so much to decorate these. We started with crayons .... although oil pastels would be better. I did the outline of the fish and cut out 2 the same (these were done on butchers paper). I then flipped over one and we did some decorations with the crayons. We then painted them and added some glitter glue and some plain glitter. A couple of large cut out eyes and here they are drying. Once they have dried we will assemble them. Here is the finished product. I think I would go round all the edges with masking tape (on the inside) before putting it together if I were to use butcher paper again. The paper is quite flimsy and thus prone to tearing when stuffing it. I only did the top edge to give it stability and strength to hang it. All edges would be much better. Anyway I also ended up using paper towel (can you believe we didn't have a newspaper in the house!) which is particularly good for the smaller area's such as the mouth as it's much softer. Load up the stapler because you need lots of staples to put it together properly. You certainly don't want paper peeking through in between the gaps. Good enough to hang up her brothers sea themed room!
