How Students Create Their Artwork
For the color-by-code activities, students match each numbered section to the assigned color and gradually reveal a vibrant mosaic pattern.
For the landscape pages, students fill the outlined sections using acrylic paint, tempera paint, markers, crayons, paint sticks, or colored pencils. They can use short blocks of color and leave small gaps between sections to recreate the lively mosaic effect associated with Alma Thomas’s art.
The open-ended pages encourage children to experiment with warm and cool colors, contrasting palettes, repeating patterns, and different ways of showing movement.
