Last week, the third graders used their paper templates to guide them in making elements of their collage for their social studies mural. I showed them a few short cuts they could use a long the way, but the design and execution is really up to them. Below, you can see a few finished symbols and figures. Next class, they will continue to build their elements with paper and plan their background design. I'm looking forward to these coming together!

On Monday, the third graders revisited their layout for their mural/ collage. I brought in original artwork from my book Jaro and Frog, and showed them the process I used to make sure my final artwork was in proportion to my sketch. Each student is responsible for creating a part of their group's collage. I had them choose the piece they would like to work on, and then create a template that they will later use to create their collage piece. They measured their templates against the final project size.
Before Spring Break the third graders prepared the paper for their collage by looking back at their layout design and painting the colors they anticipated they would need. Below are photos of their sketches and the beginning process of them painting. Off to a great start!
