Meet Wyland

1956 - Present

“Whether through art, science, or a simple concern for a healthier, beautiful planet, our hope is to inspire children … everywhere about the beauty of our water planet.” -

Wyland

Learning About The Ocean• When Wyland was small, he

dreamed about becoming a marine explorer like his hero, Jacques Cousteau.

• Captain Cousteau created many television shows that taught families about the living seas – the habitat for many sea creatures.

• Wyland’s favorite show was about whales. He told his parents that he wanted to dive with whales one day.

• Jacques Cousteau’s shows taught Wyland about the importance of taking care of the oceans and the animals that lived there.

Painting the Oceans• When Wyland went to college and

he studied art. But he never forgot about Captain Cousteau’s lessons about ocean environments.

• He started painting small pictures of ocean habitats but nobody wanted them!

• Then, he decided to create large pictures, or murals.

• Murals are gigantic pictures that are painted right on to walls. Here’s Wyland and some of his massive murals. (Hit enter–pause-hit enter)

• A whale wouldn’t fit on a small piece of paper. Would it? So he decided to use the entire side of a building. (Hit enter–pause-hit enter) 5

Project Art EDventures

• Assemble the base– Put glue in the hole.– Put dowel in the hole.– Sing you name and

“Draw the Paw.”

• Design Sea Floor– Take ½ oz of Model Magic

Clay. – Form it over the wooden

base to resemble an ocean floor.

– Paint the “sea floor” in greens and blues.

– Add shells and put aside.

• Create your Whale– Take 1 oz of Model Magic

Clay. Put aside a small piece.

– Create a hot dog shape.– Flatten one end and form it

into a tail. Stretch the end to elongate the tail.

– At the other end form a head. Use toothpicks to make a mouth

– Use the extra clay to add a dorsal fin and flippers.

Curriculum Tie

Science/Basic Needs of Living Things

S1L1A. Identify the basic needs of a plant: Air, Water, Light, NutrientsB. Identify the basic needs of a living animal: Air, Water, Light, ShelterC. Identify the parts of a plant-root, stem. Leaf and flower.

Compare and describe various animals - appearance, motion, growth, basic needs. S1CS7.Much can be learned about plants and animals by observing them closely; care must be taken to know the needs of living things and how to provide for them. Advantage can be taken of class pets.

S1CS6 All different kinds of people can be and are scientists. (We use Jacques Cousteau.)

S1CS4 Students will use the ideas of system, model, change and scale in exploring scientific and technical matters.

Use a model-such as toy or picture- to describe a feature of a primary thing.

Describe changed in the size, weight, color or movement of things, and note which of their other qualities remain the same during a specific change.

Compare very different sizes, weights, ages (baby/adult), and speeds (fast/slow) of both human and natural things.

• Dear Mom, Dad or Caretaker,

• Today in Art EDventures we learned about Wyland and his ocean art. He’s part marine explorer, part teacher and part artist.

• Wyland has painted 100 Whaling Walls all around the world – from Underground Atlanta, all the way to China! His murals show huge whales in their ocean habitats. He paints them because he wants everyone to keep the Earth’s waters clean.

• Ask me about the awesome whale sculpture that I made like Wyland and the kinds of things whales need to live.
