First grade artists learned about Aboriginal dot painting and some of the unique wildlife of Australia as they created these cool saltwater Baru Crocodiles!
They began by tracing circles with a large marker, coloring the background with Warm Wanda colors, and carefully making white dots with a q-tip.
We drew our crocodiles step-by-step with Mrs. Brouwer, then painted them with watercolors, adding dots for detail with the the end of a paintbrush. Cutting the crocs out was tricky – first graders got in some good practice using scissors!
