I posted a project idea about African American artist Alma Woodsey Thomas awhile back, check out the post here. Thomas was a art teacher for almost 4 decades, became a prolific Abstract Expressionist painter during her retirement, and had her first show at 80 years old! WOW! How inspiring!

| Here's the group project: "Sunset Over the Ocean." |
For my last
Modern Art class with my homeschool kiddos, I thought we'd do a relaxed
collage project based on Thomas' work. The children had fun and created some very beautiful pieces. It was also a great opportunity to use up all of those paper scraps I've been collecting all year!
When they were done their personal pieces, they could work together to create a group piece that will be on display at the Grande Finale next month. I love how the
group project came out--so different than the one the group in the original post created (and I loved that one too!). Amazing!
Enjoy this one-day,
earth-friendly project!
