The art room was transformed with laser lights, suspenseful music, signs and projected images. As students entered the room, they were told about the secret mission they would be completing and were given disguises and flashlights. Students followed me as they tiptoed, jumped, and crawled their way to the "secret room". One student even carried a briefcase with classified documents! Check out the video below!
Once into the room, students were presented with their "mission" to investigate the "code words" on the secret document (the Profile of a Graduate) in order to answer the questions "why do we need to learn all of this information at school?" Students were given a "mission report" that they used to select one of the "code words" and complete the following missions:
Mission #1 - What does this word or phrase mean?
Mission #2 - Why is this word or phrase important to our lives?
Mission #3 - How does this word or phrase relate to art class?
Students chose code names that we all used for the class (mine was Agent Butter Cookies 😂!) After students investigated their "code word," they began to create artworks to represent their word or phrase. I am excited to share their artworks with you soon!
