Painting: Impressionist Squares
This one can be tricky, and not all of them are gorgeous, but it helps the begining painting students learn color mixing. They choose an impressionist painting to re-paint, however their grid is 1/4 of an inch on the 8x10 printout, and is 1/2 an inch on their larger canvas. Each individual square should be painted only ONE color, and no 2 squares that are touching can have the same color in them, they must be at least SLIGHTLY different. You really have to watch the kids, because many of them will see a large area of one color and think they can get away wit painting a checker pattern, but that looks like crap so if you do this one don't let them paint checkers!
