1st grade Catherine Rayner Crocodiles
The past couple of weeks, 1st grade has been working on their Solomons, which are inspired by the author and illustrator, Catherine Rayner, and her book, Solomon the Crocodile. I originally found this idea on Art Room Britt's blog! Here's how we created our own!
Day 1: We read the book, Solomon the Crocodile, and then we created our own! We started with the eye, did the zig zag back next, drew the upper half of the mouth, then the teeth, lower jaw, and then the neck! Then, we drew a few dragonflies! Their drawings are so great! Then we traced them with sharpie, and added watercolor. We painted Solomon with water first, and then added the paint for a wet on wet technique. Here's some great 1st grade examples!
Here's a video, showing how to draw Solomon the Crocodile
