Sub Lesson

So I really hate being gone from my classroom.  Partly because it's a lot more work being gone, and partly because I really want students to have a quality lesson, not just a "filler" sub lesson.  I had to be gone for one morning to a collaboration and I found this awesome lesson HERE  at Mrs. Knights Smartest Artists on symmetrical monoprinting.  We used the alpha biggie tempera blocks and folded our papers in half to create these.  I took it a step further and when I returned, we added black marker for contrast.  Students from K-5 did this lesson and they were all successful and beautiful!  Some students chose to do abstract and some chose realistic images.  All in all, a work they were proud of!
