* Another idea is to have students journal about a time they have learned from a mistake! Then, encourage the students to turn the blobs of paint into something beautiful by adding their own touches on them! This lesson comes from here. * Have the art teacher hand out pieces of paper with blobs, streaks, or mistakes on them. Perhaps give the students discarded items (candy wrappers, old magazines, broken toys) to use to create found art! After reading it, have the art teacher demonstrate how she can turn an artwork "mistake" into something beautiful. Here, a blob of paint with a few strokes becomes a frog, and a balled up piece of garbage becomes the fleece of a lamb! Collaborate with an art teacher when reading this book aloud. * Barney Saltzberg's concept book Beautiful Oops is truly engaging for students. Themes: Acceptance of imperfection, avoiding self-criticism, creativity
