After watching videos and viewing images of Nick Cave Soudsuits, the students discussed how the soundsuits might represent diversity.  They also made observations about movement, texture, patterning and color.  Beginning with pencil drawings, the students invented at least three soundsuits.  Next, they traced their drawings with Sharpies and colored in their images.  For color themes, one soundsuits could be any colors, one warm colors, and the last cool colors.  Using colored pencils, the students created interesting patterns and textures.
Once the 4th graders completed their drawings, they cut out their images and glued them together so they looked as they might be having a dance party.
If you are not familiar with the work of Nick Cave, PLEASE look it up. He is amazing.  I posted some videos at http://anniesartroom.weebly.com/1/post/2014/03/sneak-peak-preview.html
The students LOVED this project and the other grade students were jealous because they didn't also get to do it.
