Salt Tasting
We are making salt and pepper shakers for our clay unit. Today we did the salt tasting and had students try five different types of salt: Table Salt, Tamise De Guerande, Fluer De Sel, Hymalayan Pink, and Kala Namak. The students read descriptions about the salts then completed a survey. It was a great lesson!

Create a Creature Art Game
Today we used dice to roll for the parts of our monsters creating a unique creature. This would be fun for elementary, but also worked will for my middle school adaptive art class.
Art Robots
Art Robots!
Yes, you read that right: ART ROBOTS! My adaptive art classes used markers, tape, pieces of pool noodles, tape, and the motor from an electric toothbrush from the dollar store to create their own art robot that would move around their paper. They experimented with how it could be constructed differently to create different patterns and tried moving the paper to change the robots path. This was a lot of fun and created some fun Spirograph type work.
Lego Prints
For my adaptive art class, we used legos to create monoprints then colored in the positive space. They were very proud of their artwork. I was surprised at how difficult it was for the students to just create abstract designs. They all wanted to "make something", but even with focusing on cities, playgrounds, race cars, and other concrete concepts they turned out great!
