This board was inspired by Banksy. If you don't know of him, look him up. Stuff of legend. This is my first year with my own classroom and my bulletin board is 16 feet long! It's my favorite classroom tool. I wanted a happy, eye popping board to intrigue the students when they came in the first day. This was up for a few months.
Creation:
Found a picture of a chimp on Google Images and projected it onto my white board. Traced the light/dark dominant areas onto butcher paper. Then I cut out the light areas and the outline with an exacto knife and placed contrasting paper underneath.
The rays were made by stapling yellow paper onto the bulletin board and with a ruller, tracing them out from a vanishing point. Then I simply stapled them up, starting with the central piece and fanning out from there.
Bonus: Pin wheels.
