Mixed Media Mural: A Community Collaboration

$0.00

Many hands and minds can make one mural. In this collaborative unit, learners work in small groups to create sections of a quilt-like mural to be stitched together by the resident artist. Fabric, paper, zippers, photographs, and trim are all fair game in this atypical mural project.

In addition to adddressing Visual Art Standards in all four areas (Creating, Performing, Responding, and Connecting), this cross-curricular unit also addresses Ohio ELA standards in Speaking and Listening, Ohio Social Studies standards in Civic Participation and Skills, as well as SEL Standards.

This unit is best suited to Middle and High school, but could be adapted to Upper Elementary.
