The Santa Puzzle Picture

This is an idea that I've seen done with the Mona Lisa, so I thought why not do it with my students with something Christmas-y?

After a quick search on Google, I found this fantastic painting by an artist named Meadow Gist.  After printing it out, it was cut into 25 pieces and each piece was numbered.  (To help put the "puzzle" back together later.)

Without showing the picture to the students, I gave them each a piece of the puzzle and a 5" x 5" piece of paper.  They were told to do their best to  recreate the little piece of the puzzle onto the bigger piece of paper.  (Without knowing the entire picture, the pieces they had to work with were very abstract.)  After they were all done, they put their pieces together to view the entire picture.

Here are the students singing along to one of their favorite Songs of the Day: "I Want It That Way" by Backstreet Boys.
