Notes from the work.

A collaborative mural asks each maker to build an individual contribution that also responds to the people and images around it.

Fold, test and revise: paper construction makes structural decisions visible when a join has to work without being hidden under tape.

Illustrated vocabulary becomes a studio tool when learners can use it to name a choice, discuss an effect and decide what to try next.

A shared viewing routine gives every maker a way to contribute. The conversation begins with visible choices and a question, even while the work is developing.
