This is a project that I have done before with kindergarten, however, in keeping with giving the students more choices and teaching them to make artistic choices for themselves, I had 3 versions of this project going at one time.
The first project started out by using tempera paint (in either warm or cool colors) to paint a folded piece of paper. Once the painting was done, they used oil pastels in the opposite color scheme to create lines in each box (wavy, zig zag, dotted, straight, etc). Then I had the letters A-H that they traced onto construction paper. They cut them out and glued them in order.
The second project used color sticks to color their paper. They used markers to create their lines and then they glue die cut letters on each square.
The third version of this project used oil pastels to color their paper, tempera paint to create their lines and then glue die cut numbers in each square.

Choice Based Art Education
I am looking for some help/advice/information from all of you art educators out there....
I am beginning to do some research on Choice Based Art Education. This is something that I would really like to implement at my school. I am easing into it this year, by giving the students a variety of options in their final products. I have not been able to give up complete control... yet. It is a learning process for me and for the students.
What the students have been creating so far this year has been wonderful and I would really like to learn more about fully implementing it next year.
Are there any of you who already do this??
It strikes me as very similar to the way I taught when I was in the content classroom (K-6 and multi-age) and I would love to get back to it! It seems like a very natural way of teaching. Ideas, suggestions???
