Art Challenge Rotation

Ceiling Tile Designs

Details are posted on staff share drive under PBIS folder Mix It Up art rotation 2011.11.  Each team will be given one white ceiling tile to plan, design and execute. Teams are reminded to address this challenge with the same steps as any design challenge with planning being a very important first step. 

1.)        Ask: Students are asked to design a ceiling tile that will be a part of the school.

2.)        Imagine: Students should imagine a design that will look appropriate for school.   They should keep the design “classic” for long term appeal. 

3.)        Plan: Sketch paper will be provided for this step.  A common theme might help the team stay focused and create a more cohesive sketch of their tile.  This is where visuals and guided brainstorming would be helpful.

4.)        Create: Once a common theme and idea are formulated the creation of the prepped ceiling tile can begin.  Sketching with a pencil first is recommended and possibly outlined before painting begins. Ample time should be given to create a tile that will represent team’s collaborative efforts.

Teams are not limited to designs that are influenced by information about their country but are strongly encouraged to choose designs that are cohesive and well executed with the copyright issues in mind.  Team leaders should prepare visuals that will guide their team to a successful end. Animals, School Life, Educational Icons would all make for excellent theme ideas as would S.T.E.M. & Engineering Images.

Other Rotations for the day include: Lunch and Eagle’s Nest
