One project I did for yr 8 (12 yrs) was about the use of narrative in art. I showed them half a dozen pictures/photographs and they wrote a story or description of what they thought was happening. The project them developed in other ways.
I did a project About Aliens for 6-8 year olds in an ESL school where we made little raffle tickets with bits of description on them e.g 6 legs, blue and yellow stripes, and then the kids drew 5 of them out of a hat and had to draw what their tickets described (adding anything they wanted that was missing, and swapping their ticket if they two about the same thing) Then they painted them. After that the project went off on another angle.
