In Japan, beautiful streamers in the shape of Koi are flown in celebration of the Boy's Day Festival in May. These colorful fish symbolize the Japanese parents’ hopes that their sons will demonstrate strength and courage. Koi are also thought to bring good luck. After viewing different paintings of koi, eighth grade students were asked to draw a balanced, “bird’s eye view” of two koi with at least two different types of plants. They outlined their drawing with black permanent marker and colored in the fish and plants with oil pastels. Finally, they used blue glitter paint for the water.
