Grab Bag – Process Art

• In this assignment, students selected a grab bag that had some art supplies in it.

• They had to use everything in the bag to create an artwork, but could add any extra supplies needed during the process.

• The subject of the artwork was completely open (of course we still adhere to school appropriateness).
