Fishy, Fishy In the Brook!

When I was a little girl, I remember my mama reading this poem out of The Childcraft Encyclopedia.

Anybody remember these books?

They looked like this:

Anyway, here is the poem!

Fishy, fishy, in a brook
Daddy caught him with a hook
Mommy fried him in a pan

And baby ate him like a man. 

How did this go down?

Kids used tracers and traced an eye.

Then, they drew an M.

Then, they drew a U.

Then, they drew some triangles.

Then they painted with Dick Blick Liquid Watercolors!

LOOK!

Chipboard is a packaging product made from wood pulp. It's thicker and sturdier than a sheet of paper, but it doesn't have the corrugated channels inside that most cardboard does.

Making Maters!

John Sperry Maters are so fun and easy!  A great project for my 5th Graders!  Give it a try!

John Sperry says this about his art:

“My paintings are created with oil pastels and acrylics on wood or high- quality paper.  The paintings on paper are framed and the larger ones are also matted. I paint subjects which speak to me.  I mainly use bright colors and incorporate my feelings into the paintings. Humor is evident in many of my works and without it, life would be oh, so dull.  I do not believe in political correctness, but I do not intend to offend anyone. My art has the ability to make people laugh and smile and this may perhaps be the greatest quality of it.  Thank you for taking the time to view and enjoy my paintings. If you purchase one, may God bless you for allowing me to be able to continue creating and sharing my art.”
