1. KWLS Chart
- Two days before beginning the project, students will read the article as homework and fill out the KWLS chart.
- Collect, review, and revise PowerPoint/Discussion based on student responses.
2. Presentation & Discussion
- review KWLS
- PowerPoint
- While looking at images of Theibaud's work, ask students to analyze (using Elements and Principles)
3. Assign Tiles
4. Sketch Tiles
- Encourage students to move around the classroom and talk to their classmates. This increases the likelihood that the recreation lines up!
5. Paint Tiles
- Review color mixing.
- Students should work with others to make sure that the colors are consistant.
6. Add Oil Pastels
- This helps with details.
- These finishing touches add little bits of color like Thiebaud...but with more control.
7. Assemble, Photograph, Reflect!!

Students will be assessed
1. Collaboration
2. Accuracy
3. Color Mixing
4. Technique/Craftsmanship

I first led this lesson as a student teacher. I have since completed this project with each of my painting classes. Each semester I am amazed at how students help each other and utilize art vocabulary! This project has many opportunities for formative assessment.
