During this project, we created an ocean collage by applying torn pieces of tissue paper. We used cool color tissue paper to represent the water. We also used different sized tissue paper to develop texture throughout the collage. We then added the fish to the collage. We used warm colors so the fish would really pop out from the project. We then added the fish using a piece of folded paper like an accordion so the piece had movement. This project was connected to the children's book, The Rainbow Fish. The students then had to add sequence and pipe cleaners to show how each and every fish is unique.
An extension activity to this project would be to have the students develop a poem about their unique Rainbow Fish describing why it is different from all the other fish.
