For some reason, this workshop didn't work as well as the last session we spent making painted paper. The last time round it was a relaxing, therapeutic session and the students were really absorbed in the painting. Today it felt more like a competition to see who could paint the most paper in the shortest time. After only 30 minutes I could see that the students had had enough. On the upside, I now have LOADS of painted paper for future classes!
It's so good to see a blog specifically for adaptive art!!! I'm a first year teacher in an elementary school and I teach 3 special needs classes. When I started I figured there would be lots of ideas on the web....boy was I wrong! I too have been finding ideas from other places and then tweaking them to fit our needs. Thanks so much for making this blog, I look forward to checking back and seeing what you come up with :)
