This school year started off with a community mural for all grades and abilities to contribute too. I was inspired by this post on Art Rocks to get the process started.
Students started the project by listening to the classic art story, The Dot by, Peter Reynolds. This was a great way for students understand how to put their "mark" on our group mural. The rest was then up to them. I left various colors of paint out for students to use and ask groups of 3-4 students to come up and contribute to the mural by painting a dot or circle. I can't wait to see the finished mural!
