In class, we read aloud the story of When Pigasso Met Mootise by Nina Laden. This wacky, brightly illustrated story introduces two of the world's most prolific, exciting artists and addresses the difficulty of conflict resolution. Together we discussed how to argue with a friend. How do we treat people whose ideas are different than ours? How do we express our own ideas and feelings respectfully? How do we listen to understand the thoughts and feelings of others?
Students began to work with a partner to create a drawing of a spring scene. The focus of this lesson is how to creatively collaborate with a partner. Once the artwork was completed students shared their work with the class receiving both compliments and questions from their peers. We also discussed in a group some of the challenges and joys of collaborating with another artist. Here are some photos of the artists at work:
