Draw an arrow on the back that points to the top of the mural in pencil.Write teacher's name on the back of mural in pencil.Assemble with tape on the BACK of the shapes.Lay all the pieces out to make a cool design.Cut out shape, leave the black lines attached.Use markers to design two sides of the 3-D cube shape.Everyone must abide by the plan and leave ONE side blank. Decide which side will remain uncolored with markers.As a team decide on a color scheme: cool, warm, primary, secondary.Everyone MUST color ONE piece, but some people may color more than one.Īssign a job to each member of the team: pick up trash, organize supplies, taping shapes together, cutting out shapes, team leader-this person helps everyone else and oversees the design As a team you will need to decide on a color scheme. This team challenge MUST involve everyone in the group. If they had an 'oops' then I would try to pawn it off on a really motivated kid later in the day to finish or fix. I did not let students throw away their squares. I have a problem with students who grab one piece of paper, mess up a tiny bit and then want to throw it away. I posted a couple of design idea sheets in the room to inspire those 'design' challenged kids. I wish I would've made them do more intricate designs, but it was a one-day challenge so I was happy with the overall finished product. Each student had to create at least one block, but then they could take over the job of cutting or taping if someone else really wanted to color more.
The students had to work as a team to select a color scheme and design their mural. Because I let the teams have some autonomy, all of the murals ended up quite different. Each group was comprised of 4-6 students. As they walked into the room, each table had a number 1-6. When each class arrived, I numbered them off. For this project, I copied about 400 (but quickly realized I needed about 800 for my 370ish students) 3-D squares on regular copy paper.
