So she did that with a little help from some of her other classmates. They want to take a famous painting and make it larger.
So we figured out the math, made grids, cut the big paper. Then got to work.
We chose "The Figure 5 in Gold". By Charles Demuth
It was neat to see them work. People that had pieces next to each other work together to make sure there lines would match up. Others did not and that was ok.
I think they did really good.

Very cool the way you let the child come up with this plan!
Many years ago, I used to do large group enlargements every year with my 7th graders,but with one big difference. I selected, numbered and cut up the original image, and the kids graphed and enlarged them, and didn't know what the final image would be until it the pieces were compete and the mural was assembled. It was always so much fun to see their surprise as the image came together. Only had one failure: the image I chose was Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe, and when it was all put together the kids asked "Who is she?" So funny!
