Grade 4

Circle knitting is a Processed that was developed in a workshop I ran in a tertiary learning institution. It lends itself to large group participation. The knitting is produced quickly and seemingly magically. it demands cooperation and focus. It also initiates an embodied understanding of how knitting works.
In the car part learners drew around each other and filled their bodies in with coloured chalk.
Butterfly hands: a group project, drawing arround both left and right hand by oneself, and filling in with wax crayon patterns.Then a wash of blue ink. The whole drawing is roughly 6 m
Hand mandalas. Tempera paint hand prints. Negative spaces filled in with wine corks used as printing devices.

These posts are an honest and useful account and you should really consider doing a presentation to teachers/students using your documentation and insights.
