Sticky Note Art

 

Hello! I finally have some time to spend posting lessons up my blog.  The first lesson I will be sharing with you is Sticky Note Art.  You can use this lesson as an Ice Breaker, to get to know your students or as an in between.  The lesson was inspired by Giant Robot Media and their sticky note art shows, these shows feature famous artists or cartoonists, the sticky note art can be sold for $25 and people spend days in line for purchase.  All of these facts amaze students, and you can share with them the Gian Robot Media website along with some videos they share.  Check it out: POST IT SHOW - GIANT ROBOT MEDIA

When I implement this lesson, I ask students to create something that represents them in the sticky note, so I give them an about me questionnaire that you will find below.
