A year ago our handicraft work was felting on flat surfaces and in the round. Here the children each chose a painting of an artist to copy and used raw or coloured wool applied to a felt background. They had each been given a baggie of colours to help direct the choice of painting. Depending on personality, they spent much time or little on their project--and that did not go as I'd have predicted it! But I loved watching the process of choosing the painting, trading colours where necessary to get just the right one and felting with care or abandon to achieve just the right effect.
