Underwater Portraits: Jason De Caires Taylor

5th Grade Mixed Media

4th Grade, these portraits are fantastic! The first class we talked about the artist Jason DeCaires Taylor and how he creates underwater sculptures that serve as artificial reefs and also benefit sea life. Then, we did a background in watercolor. After it was dry, we traced our faces onto a mirror- harder than it looks! We transferred the image onto the watercolor paper and added sea creatures to finish the project.
