This Collaborative Summer Poster Art Project is the perfect blend of creative math and art activities for summer learning, providing students with an exciting way to explore grid drawing and enlargement techniques. Designed for classroom group activities and bulletin board displays, the project inspires students to work together to create a vibrant summer mural measuring 108cm x 108cm. Each student works on an assigned tile with a pre-made grid, using a 1:6 scale drawing method to enlarge their section. Advanced learners can challenge themselves further by creating their own gridlines. Once the drawings are complete, students color their tiles and assemble them into a breathtaking mural. The flexibility of unassigned colors allows teachers to follow a suggested palette or empower students to make creative decisions.

More than just an art project, this activity is an engaging tool for teaching proportions, scale, and teamwork. Perfect for integrating into scale drawing art lessons, it can also complement interdisciplinary studies on environment, conservation, or summer themes. The completed summer mural serves as both a stunning summer classroom decor idea and a testament to collaboration and achievement. By combining artistic expression with practical math skills, this project fosters creativity, fine motor development, and critical thinking. Designed for grades 3-12, it’s an inspiring way to transform classroom spaces, celebrate the summer season, and cultivate a deeper appreciation for art and learning.

There are five different grid variations that you can choose from, ranging from dark to light lines. These grids align perfectly with the enlarged squares, making it easy for students to transfer the image without additional measurements.
