5th grade Starry Night
This is a project I did last year when I taught at Columbus. It was so much fun!!! I cut a poster of Starry Night up into approximately 125 squares. Each student got a square of the poster, a 5"x5" piece of black paper and oil pastels. We studied the squares as individual abstract pieces. The students knew they were going to be put together to make one piece, but they had no idea what it was going to be. I will admit that it took a lot of my time to get all these pieces in order and up on the wall, but the final product was so worth it. (Label each square of the poster, 1A, 2A, 1B, 2B, etc. then have the student write that number on the back of their piece of paper.) Took about 2-one hour classes.
