We're in the middle of this lesson - after the prints are made, the students will make something out of the papers. Perhaps it will be a "pop-up" or a "book". Or perhaps, when the prints are just lovely as they are, the print will be matted and framed by a parent (one hopes). This is a good lesson for color theory - what goes and what doesn't. (In one photo, one of my students is working independently on "costumes" drawings.) The last photo in this set has one of the "books" to which I referred. It's done with two sheets of prints. One set is cut and folded into the "book" and the other set is cut and inserted into each "page" of the "book". The book is tied together with eight strings that are knotted on top and bottom of the book. You need four hands to do this - so the students give each other two helping hands. The strings that are left hanging are then decorated with beads and knots. (the first print is my "prototype" for the students' edification)
