3D Biome

For this project we learned about different biomes. We learned what animals belonged in each of those biomes and then had to choose an animal and the biome it belonged in. I chose a jellyfish and made an aquatic biome because that is where jellyfish are found. We learned about background, middle ground, and fore ground as well and had to apply that to our work. My background is everything drawn on with oil pastels, middle ground the starfish and fish that are sticking out some, and then fore ground is my jellyfish because that is the focal point of my piece and sticking out the most. We got to use oil pastels to decorate how we wanted and then also cut out construction paper to get the shapes and designs for the middle and fore ground.
An extension to this project could be done when learning about each specific biome. If they were learning about the aquatic biome they could make their project like mine with any sea creature, if learning about the savanna they would make theirs with animals found in that specific biome and so on. But with that I think the students should have to do some researching of biomes and present that when they create and present the biome that they made. Explain what other types of animals our found in the biomes as well.
