4th grade students created Radial Designs using their first names. Students learned about radial symmetry and it's occurrence in nature, as well as, man made mandalas and other artistic forms. We looked carefully at snowflake patterns and discovered their beautifully, intricate radial symmetrical designs. Students first created a template which was then used to trace eight times to create their designs. Students then chose a color scheme to add color to their creations.

1st grade students learned about the abstract artist, Jim Dine. They created "Heart Art" inspired by Dine's heart series. Students started with a heart stencil and black sharpie to create puzzle- like pieces. Next they used cool colored oil pastels to fill in the areas around the heart. Students practiced blending different cool colors. Next students used warm colored tissue paper to fill in the heart and give their artwork texture. |
