As a result of this program, the 4th, 5th and 6th students will experience working together to create a beautiful piece of art. This art opportunity will foster the desire to collaborate with each other; learn design skills; learn about mixing colors; and how the small piece that each child paints fits into the large mural. Questions during asked of the students while working on the mural, “What did you learn about the design of the project this week? What did you learn about mixing of colors' Do you like the small piece you painted? How do you like the whole mural? What part of this project did you like best?”
As a result of the project, the 4th, 5th and 6th grade students of Bagley Elementary School planned and painted a valued piece of their history at Bagley Elementary. Additionally, they each learned many new skills from the artist in residence - from perception within a mural, mixing of colors, working collectively, and learning about their individual experiences with art.
