Expressive Painting (with glitter... shudders!)

I sometimes find challenges with such diverse group of students with a huge range between. This class is small with only 4 boys (young men to be more accurate). They are all diagnosed with Autism with varying behaviors. My colleague and I decided that short, easy project would be best for this group. I busted out the paint and talked to the group about favorite colors and shapes and encouraged the students to make colorful brushstrokes. And then for fun, we had the students dust the color with a matching color of glitter. I'm personally not a fan of glitter because it gets everywhere but it seemed appropriate for this lesson. I really love how each one turned out.
