Our previous post featured  just four of the wonderful creatures at Melbourne Aquarium so today I thought I’d add some more but show them from different angles. Our Grade 5 and 6 students  found that by observing the photographs closely they were able to add the right number of gills to their sharks and the numerous fins in the right places. Having such detailed photographs to draw inspiration from added to the quality of our work . After watching Plasticene artist Barbara Reid talk about how she uses the Internet and books to research  the features of the animals before sketching her picture book pages we aim to use photographs more often.
