Thank you for sharing this. I just finished reading the book and creating a mural with my students in K-3.

I used this resource from the National Gallery of Art, which was shared in the fall.

I've attached a picture of the mural my students created. I had each student create 4 3x3 Alma-inspred squares, then I put them on

larger 6 1/2x 6 1/2 squares and laminated them together to create the mural. It came out great and I love how it looks in the library.
