Each student created a piece of this stunning mural of MLK. We had been working on Color Value for a couple of weeks and I decided with the upcoming holiday that this would be the perfect assessment to our unit.
Each student was given one piece (8x11) of the photograph that was pixilated. They had no idea what it was and I didn't tell them as not to distract from the lesson objective. Once it went up students were amazed at what they had unknowingly created.
The challenge of this lesson was to accurately create color values using only black and white paint and match them to the pixilated portion of the larger mural. The quality of the finished piece is a testament to the students success.
You'll see bellow that there is one at Deerfield and one at Hanlon that is accompanied by a mural of Rosa Parks.
