5. Black history: mixed media cooperative art
Students are to create works of art as a group assignment.
In groups of 4 students, they are to select a Famous Black Canadian/American (choose from their research task)
Once they outline their face to a large piece of Bristol Board they are to divide the page.  Each student would receive an even number of pieces (4 – 5) of their poster to colour in using a different type of media(s) on each piece. 
Media(s) refers to the materials that are used to create the work of art
Drawing – pencil, coloured pencil, ink, markers, pastels, chalk
Painting – watercolour, acrylic, tempera
Photography

Before students cut up their pieces they should number the back so they know where each piece belongs.
