We started the conversation with thing this was like that they just did...SnapKits. There are definitely some visual connection. The class transitioned to a conversation on what they thought this was a painting of. The responses are always interesting.
I used links from the Tate and MoMa to round out my planning and presentation.

I began instructions letting students know that we were going to focus on some skills that we didn't always have time to address. The core focus of this activity is measurement and fractions.
Students created a grid that covered their paper. The goal was to ensure that all lines were an equal distance apart and parallel with the edges of their paper.
Students got to break out the paint after the finished their grids.
To finish the work up we used Sharpie to add emphasis.
Finally, each student created a card that identifies the fraction of
each color used in the artwork. This is a pretty popular activity and
you can find tons of lessons online.
This wrapped up the Visual Art component of this lesson.
