We discussed the importance of folklore and how many countries have the same tales. We also discussed how tales became legend and then myth. So many countries around the world carry similiar folklore tales about mermaids. We explored all the different tales and the class succeeded in painting in watercolour the most beautiful mermaids and mermen. The week before we learnt the different techniques in watercolour and used coarse salt to create effects on the canvas.
