Zoe and I were very organized for this project. We divided up the work and made sure to have everything we needed in advance. This project obviously took a lot of preparation and clean up afterwards. One of our biggest issues was making sure we had enough sheets to use as a back drop. Luckily my mum was happy to donate some. We also had to find A LOT of paint, and make sure it was safe to get on our skin. Tempra paint from my mum's classroom did the trick.
As for clothing and utensils, Zoe nailed it. Our all white outfits really gave us the "human canvas" feel we were looking for. She also provided spoons, ladles, sponges and paintbrushes for the class to use. Set up was easy and we were completely prepared.

Putting a time limit on our project turned out to be a great idea in my opinion. Zoe and I worried that if we didn't set a time that our project would drag out and people would lose interest. Setting the clock for one minute heightened the class's excitement because they knew they had to move quickly.
Overall I am happy with the outcome of this project. Although it took a lot of preparation and clean up, it was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the experience of creating art with a group of people instead of creating it individually. This project brought our class together and allowed everyone to let their guards down a little bit and work together. I definitely want to create an artwork with a large group of people again.
