The Great Wave: Window Cling Art Project

I have really be into using my windows as an additional project display.  Taking what is otherwise dead space and making it something pretty is just up my alley as of late.  So, using clear contact paper and sharpies, we created this amazing art project that really had some awesome WOW factor!  Honestly, there isn't much to this project. The kids looked at the original painting (we did a narrative writing project with it) and then drew their best rendition of it on a 12" x 17" piece of clear contact paper.  They then used colored sharpies to color it in.  Since we don't have white sharpies, I did buy white paint pens.  Those weren't super successful (they peeled off when I put them on the window) but the rest of the colors looked great!

Would you like to know more about the narrative writing assignment my students did in connection with this art project?   You can read what we did, as well as pick up the printables, here.
