New Ocean Art Project: Yellow Tang Directed Drawing 🐠

Hello arty teachers! 🎨

I’ve just added a brand new project to the Directed Drawing Fun Bundle 2 — a cheerful Yellow Tang drawing and writing activity! 🐠

The step-by-step pages guide students through drawing the fish, and the included worksheets encourage them to write about the yellow tang too. It’s an easy way to combine art and literacy while creating bright ocean-themed displays for your classroom.

If you’d like to expand the lesson into a richer art experience, invite students to create a full underwater scene around their fish! Simple flowing lines and shapes work beautifully for:

• coral
• rocks
• sea plants
• bubbles
• light rays shining through the water

Here are a few easy ways to build background knowledge and spark discussion before drawing:

• Look at photos or short videos of yellow tang fish
• Find where they live on a world map
• Observe how the fish shape changes depending on how it is swimming
• Talk about the bright yellow color against the deep blue ocean
• Explore other examples of yellow and blue together in art or nature

For the art process, you might:

• model the drawing steps
• let students practice shapes on whiteboards first
• draw final artwork on large paper
• outline in marker
• add watercolor paint
• or use crayon to create extra texture and definition

It’s a fun, vibrant project that works beautifully for ocean studies, summer themes, or end-of-year art lessons 🌊
