Wonderful Whales


This painting is called Catching Whales by J.E. Carl Rasmussen and was painted in 1875, probably around the time "Jack the Sailor" was around! 


                 Ahoy Artists! Let's draw some whales! 



                                          
                Click here to see the whale how-to I used.


Draw your whale in a setting




Think:

Where do the whales live? 
What's around the whale?
Think of 3 things that would be in your whale setting (or environment!).



Use the painting of the whaling ship and the whales for ideas, or draw your whales in their ocean home. You already know how to draw many sea-creatures! Add those into your setting!



Here's Ms. Defillippo's performing the folk song about Jack and the whale.


                                                               

There are ACTUAL WHALES in this video and THEY ARE WONDERFUL! Just watch and wonder!
