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!

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.
