Top 5 Sea Creatures

If you have a look through that crystal clear sea water, or in that little pond or in a quick river, we bet you can see some slippery fish splashing around!

Lots of artists have drawn, painted and made fish as artworks. We love these little doodles by Scottie Wilson. He must have drawn these when he was by the sea as you can really see the movement in his drawings! What are you waiting for? Grab a pen and some paper and get doodling!

Have you ever spent hours and hours on the beach looking down at your feet trying to find the best, shiniest shell?

Here are some of the shells artist Frances Hodgkins collected. She’s painted them to look as if they are shimmering in the light.

Artists have great imaginations. Although this looks as if it was painted by the sea in a tropical place, (is that a parrot on the balcony?!); It was actually painted in London.

You shouldn’t put your hand too near a lobster’s pincer because pretty soon it will go…SNAP!

John Craxton was staying in Greece when he painted this artwork. He was inspired by the colours of the coastline and the things he saw there.
