Our 2nd Grade Collaborative Mural project is officially finished!  This lesson took several weeks to complete as the students learned about community art and how to work as a team to create a completed artwork.  This mural began as 12 large puzzle pieces; four per class.  Each work table in the art room had to cover their piece with newspaper using collage techniques.  Then they added a personal drawing that somehow represented themselves (hobbies, family, pets, etc...)  After all classes had finished, we pieced the mural together, and...voila!  A masterpiece was born!  Great job 2nd grade.  The mural will be on display in the cafeteria for a good while so please stop by and see it when you are in the building.
