These children looked beneath the waves when making their artworks

Under the water

Jellyfish in the Grand Canal

Surprisingly, we found out that jellyfish live in Venice’s canals! But you can’t see them when the water is polluted or busy with boats. We made our own jellyfish using recycled materials like flower pots, wool and plastic bags, joined together with glue and elastic bands.

What’s Pulling the Gondolas?

We imagined that there were creatures under the water pulling the gondolas. We created two teams of water creatures using textiles and collage. In the painting we can see the humans racing, but it’s under the water where the real race is happening!
