Students in room 17 have worked collaboratively to create a mural together. Students focused on making artistic decisions as a group, working to take turns, listening to each other's ideas, and making one cohesive painting.
I can statements:
I can make small group and/or large group murals.
I can work primarily with tempera paint or tempera paint with additives, using large brushes to paint.
I can show animals and plants can be represented in terms of their proportions.

The finished murals.
This art project was challenging for students in that they were working in a group and had to come to group consensus. In the end all three of the murals turned out well. You can ask your child about this project if you want to hear more.
Have a great long weekend,
