Painted Ponies Part 2 Collaborative Groups

Using donated cardboard, my intern teacher and I cut out 6 cardboard horse shapes for each 5th grade class, a total of 36 horses.  They were approximately 18 to 22 inches high and about 25 inches long. We painted them white on both sides to prep them for the groups.
When we explained to the students that they would be transferring the paper design onto the cardboard, painting in groups to complete their pony and then displaying the horses thru the Later Elementary in our own Trail of Painted Ponies, they were thrilled!

GROUP WORK

 

1) The designer drew onto cardboard, enlarging design to fit larger horse. Both sides of cardboard were designed.

2) While this was going on, group members helped draw if needed and a few painted the stands that will hold horses up.

3) When ready, all students painted on their horses with the lead artist making final color decisions and showing where the colors were to be painted.
