please create a fun activity that is artsy that students can do as a review before an assessment on mixtures and solutions. min. materials and could possible be completed in about 45 mins

In this activity, participants will create a mini art gallery to visually represent their understanding of mixtures and solutions. The goals are to demonstrate a clear grasp of the differences between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures, as well as to explain their properties through artistic illustrations. Working in small groups, students will gather materials such as colored markers, white paper, and optionally watercolors to create two pieces of artwork depicting specific examples of mixtures or solutions, such as salad and saltwater. They will label key components of each mixture/solution and provide concise scientific explanations detailing their classifications. Following the art creation, groups will present their work during a gallery walk, sharing key scientific concepts with their classmates. Peer review and reflection activities will help reinforce the learning objectives, culminating in readiness for an assessment on these concepts.
