This collaborative poster reads ‘Every Artist Was Once an Amateur’. It’s a simple way to introduce group work to your curriculum where each student colours a piece(s) of the picture which combines to create a large artwork. The lesson plan suggests you use coloured pencils, felt tips or watercolour. This resource comes in both A4 pieces and letter-size pieces.
This download includes:
- An 8-page A4 PDF and an 9-page letter-size PDF each of which piece together to create the image above.
- A lesson plan that includes helpful tips and an optional idea for including colour theory in the lesson.
- A good example of the poster.
