How many names of fish can you name that are found in tropical oceans?
Let’s talk about the interesting facts of Parrot Fish!
- They can change their color as well as their gender.
- They eat chunks of coral that are ground by their teeth.
- At night, they envelope themselves in a transparent cocoon made of mucus secreted from an organ at the top of their head. It is thought that they do this to mask their scent and protect themselves from predators such as moray eels.
Watch this video to know more about the Parrotfish.
In this project, you will sculpt an underwater scape that depicts a Parrotfish amongst a coral reef in plasticine.
You are encouraged to mix your own colors and not necessarily follow the colors used in the colored print provided to you in your Art Kit.
You will need to bring your own:
- Plasticine: Yellow, red, white, green, blue, purple.
- A4 size foam board with outlined template of underwater scape.
- Clay tools (2 no.s)
- Colored illustration of Underwater scape.
You will need to bring your own:
