A number of years ago, it was purported that the most depressing day of the year was either the third or fourth (depending on the source) Monday of January, due to the passing of Christmas, the long period of time remaining in winter, and a number of other factors. Whether 'Blue Monday' actually is the most depressing day of the year or not, we decided to combat that in our classroom with some art. The students started by sketching out something that makes them happy. Next, I photocopied each student's sketch, so that they had four copies of it. Then, in the style of Andy Warhol, they proceeded to make a pop art collage with their sketches, and they turned out great - make sure to check out our Artsonia page (via the link on the right hand side of our blog) later this week to see the finished product!
