Teachers and staff gathered in the art room for an hour of collaborative painting on our second day back to school. This year we have seven work days prior to the arrival of students. I had the opportunity to share with the staff how much fun we have and how much we learn in the art room. I adapted our collaborative murals from the work of
circlepainting.org. I also took the opportunity to share the artful thinking strategy, Looking 10x2, that teachers could easily introduce in their own classroom, to use with whole group, small group or centers. Check out
Project zero for many Artful Thinking routines.
