Explore, Create, Collaborate!

Last week each of the students took part in exploring paint:  mixing the colors, using brushes and canvas, and just learning how to manipulate paint. Each group worked together to produce artwork for our hallway.  I loved seeing how each group developed the painting, but most of all I liked how all of them worked on working together.  They worked on sharing the materials, the space, and taking turns. They worked on talking and listening to ideas which created a masterpiece together. Who is more proud--the students or their teacher?

And . . .  drumroll, please . . . . The finished product:

Amazing what exploring, creating, and collaborating can do!
