Well Hello there Creative Fishy's at Johnson Middle School! Side by Side

Students at Johnson traditional Middle School were awarded an ARTS FOR ALL KENTUCKY ART AWARD! The title of the project is "Well Hello There Creative Fishy's at Johnson Middle School!".The artist Kim Soule (me!) offered a virtual experience to the students. The students first watch a youtube video by Kim Soule titled "Here Fishy, Fishy!"https://youtu.be/Q1xampIn4JE The students follow along creating a drawing of a fish on a 6x18 piece of paper. Then they add lines and shapes and trace over pencil lines with a black sharpie. After the fish was completly drawn the students met with the artist via zoom. Dala Sparks, speech teacher, led the student groups as they created a met with the artist. Other teachers at Johnson also collaborated on this project. The students were excited as they water colored their fish projects and wanted to go to the screen and share with the artist! Such a fun project!

Day 2 we were able to meet again with more students for more Fishy watercolors!!

The artist, Kim Soule used the students artwork to inspire 4 large 2x4 murals that can be painted in by the students and displayed at the school!
