Thank you for the idea!!

I put out a long white strip of paper and ten cups of paint and brushes.
First day of class - We had a very short intro class today so this fit
perfectly, giving the students a chance to use a little paint.
I had instructions right inside the door.
Pick a color and draw a line (any kind of line) from one end of the sheet to
the other.

I followed this telling students that art is influenced by what is happening
in the world. I asked students if they know what had inspired this
painting. In every class one or two students had the answer.

It looks really good and I am going to hang it in the hall tomorrow. I am
happy that they each have a part in this huge painting created in one day!
All succeed!!
now I am trying to think of the perfect title

Subject: [teacherartexchange] Olympic Parade of Nations Art

If you watched the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics, you could see
that each athlete left a mark across the painting during the parade of
nations. Each athlete was a part of the painting and left a personal
mark that created a work of art.

I am trying to think of a way to welcome my students on the first day of
school (tomorrow, of course I don't think of these things earlier) in
the same manner. I would like them to leave their mark simply by
entering the room. Does anyone have any ideas?
