On the first day of the school year, we played a group game as an introduction to the class. In table groups of about five people, we were tasked to choose a theme and create something based off of that theme. We could use a few recycled items and a few art supplies such as tape or a ruler. My group chose the theme "Creature" and used styrofoam plates, tape, scissors, and Sharpies to create our dragon-like animal. We named her Petunia and had oodles of fun cutting the plates to work as wings, feet and a beak. We used the tape to keep the pieces of styrofoam together but also as a scaly chest and back for our creature. The game was very fun and let us be creative with new materials that we don't typically make art from.
