Surfacing Whale

In our last class we talked about whales! The intention of this project was to engage the imagination. What floats on the surface of the ocean? How big is the whale compared to the vessel? Of course they also got some hard facts to work with so we took on a short documentary on different types of whales... they learned some pretty cool facts and of course of things we were familiar with from before.

This piece also gave them the opportunity to play with creating tints and shades as the water appears to get lighter as it gets closer to the surface.
