Collaborative painting

One of the challenges (Collaborative spiral of Inquiry) for me to include all the learners during any activities and if they are not interested what do I do. Painting with a group of 20 learners were a challenge for me. I was able to work with the maximum of 5-10 learners at a time, otherwise, it was hard for me to support all the learners and their needs at once. Finally, we decided to divide into 4 groups and each group had a different task to do it.  We worked together to make this beautiful painting.


Collaborative painting
During the collaborative process of landscape painting, something magical happened.  Every single learner, not just selected tools to paint, they have begun to work and think like real artists...from which colors to use to where to add their new drawings like where to draw a tree, water, grass and sea animals and the sun. I saw them thinking more on a collaborative project than on individual ones. The learners were able to feel safe to share their ideas with other learners. During our iExpereince, the learners were amazingly enthusiastic, and they were involved in the whole range of the artistic process, from conceptualization to execution. It was very interesting to see the learners proud moment of showing their parents what they have done at school.
