Group Painted Found Door

One day on my way to class, I saw someone had put a free door on the curb. Of course I grabbed it and threw it in my van.

The door was a great project, because the whole class sat around it and painted it. The students had to make sure they all shared the space, and they had to determine how to run their art up against the other art so that the whole door became one artwork. I was pleased by how well they worked together without any conflicts.

We displayed the door in an art show and in the classroom for the rest of the school year. Then we got rid of it when it was time to make some room.
