Third grade students looked at the artwork of a couple of artists that are featured at our very own Museum of Fine Arts in Boston- Henry Fitz Lane and Robert Salomon. Both artists created masterful paintings of boats. After designing their own boats we looked at various examples of model ships from the MFA noticing how one was displayed under glass. This reminded us of the tradition of creating ships in a bottle! We watched a video on how craftsman are able to accomplish this seemingly impossible task and then designed our own bottles. Finally, we traced everything onto transparency paper and added color on the back with oil pastels.
