We practiced our Observational Drawing Skills (see this fugleflick above at the left) to draw the Mayflower ship. We learned about the voyage of the pilgrims through videos from Brainpop and Espresso Education.
Then we painted our seascape with both transparent paints for the sky/water, and opaque paint for the ship (see the fugleflick video above on the right to see who would win in a battle between Opaque Man and Transparent Man).
