My Project

I love how my students really enjoy hands on art making activities! I've noticed that they really like to use popper and wooden puzzles during brain break activities directly after lunch. I would like the class that I have directly after lunch to be able to prime and paint their own wooden puzzle (using paint pens).They will be able to choose between creating a self portrait, landscape or abstract art work. The interactive,puzzle, art works will be titled and signed by the artist and shared with the community to be used during indoor recess/brain breaks as needed.The students really enjoy these puzzles and I think it would be great to have students design them with their own artwork! They will create the puzzle artworks to share with other middle school students who will benefit from their work by also enjoying the puzzles!
