This Lion Collaborative Grid Drawing Project is a creative way to combine artistic skills with mathematical concepts like scale drawing. Designed for classroom group activities or bulletin board display, this project allows students to work together to create a stunning lion mural measuring 108cm x 108cm. Each student is assigned a tile featuring a pre-made grid, which they can use as a guide to enlarge their section using a 1:6 scale drawing method. Alternatively, students can create their own gridlines (preferably for advanced students). After completing their drawings, they color their tiles and assemble them to form a vibrant and cohesive lion mural. The colors are not pre-assigned, giving teachers the flexibility to follow the suggested palette or let students make creative decisions.

This project is more than just an art activity; it’s an excellent teaching tool for reinforcing concepts like proportions, scaling, and teamwork. Teachers can incorporate it into art, math, or cross-curricular lessons on wildlife or conservation. The finished mural serves as a visually striking bulletin board craft and a symbol of collaboration and achievement. Not only does this activity enhance fine motor skills and creativity, but it also encourages students to understand and apply mathematical concepts in a hands-on, interactive way. Perfect for Grades 3-12, this lion mural project is a fun and meaningful way to transform your classroom into a hub of creativity 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.
