Unit Extension:
Book Making Techniques
Students will extend their collaborative mural drawing activity with an exploration of two book making techniques: the accordion fold book and the zig zag fold book. Further, students will be invited to share their handmade books with somebody else in some manner. They might give it to somebody as a gift. They could tell somebody about the media and collaborative effort used in creating the images. Finally, students can teach somebody else how to make his or her own book using one of the book folding techniques.
The unit conclusion will be the students' reflections on both the dispositions and feelings associated with sharing in the creation of an artwork and with the act of sharing the collaborative artwork again with others.
