Everything is Awesome! Denmark and Lego Guys!

I was very excited about this particular project because who doesn't love Legos? I was also glad that I could incorporate it into my unit on art around the world. We talked about Lego's birthplace: Denmark and their interesting approach to education. Teachers and students alike enjoyed watching a short video about

Denmark's "Forest Kindergartens" where kids run amok in the woods with very little adult supervision. I could go on an on about the importance of free play in nature- but that's a topic for another time! I've included a link to the documentary in the inspiration corner! Students were really pumped to create their own Lego figures. I had some pre-designed faces and shirts, but I enjoyed seeing some students draw their own.
