1st grade classes got a chance to experience a few CHOICE days between projects. They were offered drawing materials, collage, painting, stamping, and modeling clay.
Students brainstormed and we charted where artists get their ideas. I demonstrated making stencils in the painting center which focused on, not only the technique itself, but also color mixing we've learned earlier, but also symmetrical balance.
We also read the book, Beautiful Oops by Barney Saltzberg and students learned that even the worst mistakes and mishaps can be an opportunity to make beautiful things.
