This was actually the last art project that I did during my practicum, but I am going to talk about it first. I got the students to weave black and orange construction paper together and then they glued on the outline of a pumpkin onto to create a weaved pumpkin. I thought that the lesson went great and the students really seemed to enjoy it. The class that I was in had a lot of students at various levels of abilities, but all managed to do the project with varying levels of assistance. I noticed that some students instictively saw the pattern while others needed a bit more guidance to make sure that their weaving alternated with each strip. In the end, the pumpkins turned out great and the display that it created looked awesome! I loved getting the chance to teach art and it is fun watching the children experiment. The students could choose to do either straight or wavy lines (or jagged in some cases)and in was interesting to see who chose which. In the end they all looked great and there was quite a bit of variety in terms of lines.
