Collaborative Painting


This project was a fantastic way to create positive working relationships amongst my Grade 3 students'. During session 1 we focused on line & shape making. The kids worked as teams to create as many different shapes and line styles as they could in 10 minutes on scrap paper. These shapes and lines were then transferred onto large group drawings with black paint. Students' were encouraged to rotate around the table groups and to add whatever they felt like to each drawing. (shapes were drawn first then the connecting lines were added after). During session 2 the kids got to add colour to their group painting. My only instruction was that the same colour could not be touching. Again the students' got to rove table to table and work with various classmates. (this was a great teaching moment to talk about Artroom safety & moving around with paint brushes)
 
 The finish product as you can see is AMAZING!!!! Hands down my favourite lesson so far this year.
