after we've done our research at the localaquarium and you've read some books at the library, we're ready to start getting ourideas down on paper and by this i mean doing a nice little test drawing of what our muralis going to look like. now if you yourself are not artistically inclined, no problem.this isn't a barrier. maybe you have an artistic friend of yours who could help you. betteryet, even collaborate on this project with you. so if that's the case that's great. butwhat we're going to demonstrate here is just getting these ideas down on paper. think ofthis piece of paper as your wall. this is your wall that you're going to be paintingoff of. so all the different marine creatures you found, let's start getting them down here.here we have some clown fish, over here we
have some seaweed from the depths. we alsohave a little crab going, hey, how's it going, another like more of a puffer fish over hereand up here of course we have a marlin. you know one of the more graceful creatures ofthe deep. so we want to make sure that we're kind of understanding where our differentdrawings are going to go in relation to each other. we also want to make sure that we'renot drawing anything super scary. if you're a shark enthusiast out there, you can makesharks kind of happy and friendly but you really have to work at it. keep in mind thisis going to be for a child and child's imaginations are very vivid when it comes to things withsharp pointy teeth. so, keep that in mind. once more beyond this, don't think of thisas a straight jacket. this is a general guide,
a road map for our mural. but as your paintingalong you may want to alter things, something looks a little bit out of flow, maybe youwant three clown fish, etc. definitely it's a guide, not a straight jacket.
