Canvas Folding Screen

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Elementary, middle, and high schoolers design canvas folding screens; much like the ones that are so prevalent in Asian homes. Be warned that this art lesson requires a lot of materials, so it will be expensive to implement. However, the results are quite stunning! The artists can create two, or three-hinged canvas screens.
