My new direction...getting a class to create one piece of art from individuals. This totally clicked with one of my year 5 classes. It was an individual lesson and a spur of the moment actually.
I had the original on the screen, divided up into 21 (20 in the class, one girl is my v.v. talented artist and I gave her the challenge of recreating the piece in her style) and then allocated each child a square. The ones who had the difficult town bit did not shy away as I expected them to. They relished the challenge. Something about teamwork. They loved it.
And I got them to carry the teamwork on and work out how to display it together.
Got some recycled art collaboration ideas in my head too!
