Sketch Aquarium: Connected World

All the various fish drawn by everyone swim around in this aquarium.

Color in a fish on the paper provided, and see the picture you have drawn come to life, swimming out into the massive aquarium in front of you together with the fish drawn by other people. If you touch the swimming fish, they will swim away. You can also feed the fish by touching the food bags.

The tuna transcend the physical boundaries of the artwork and swim out into the Sketch Aquariums and Sketch Oceans artworks in exhibitions around the world. Similarly, tuna drawn in other parts of the world may appear and swim in the Sketch Aquarium right in front of you.
