Students in Mrs. Adelman's third grade art class completed this end of the year tarp painting on their classroom tarp that each class uses in morning meeting. Mrs. Adelman loves the work of Wassilly Kandinsky and so divided the tarp into 25 equal sections so that her students could each complete their own space that they normally sit on during our morning announcements. Her plan now is for the children to cut the tarp apart and have something to remember their school year by. This activity lent itself to the integration of math and arts as we looked at color theory and Kandinsky's reasoning behind his famous concentric circles piece.
This is awesome! What kind of tarp did you use? Like a canvas? Was it functional, and stay flat? Also, did you do a top coat to protect the paint?

ReplyDeleteI would also like to know what type of material the tarp was made of.
