Art 1 students in Ms. Fujiwara's class, worked in groups to create window paintings using a mixture of acrylic paint and soap. Each group was randomly assigned an artist’s style to emulate along with a school-related theme such as “diversity,” “energy,” or “individuality.” Students collaborated to brainstorm and sketch a design that visually represented their assigned word, then transformed that idea into the style of their designated artist.
