Op Art in Fourth Grade

Fourth graders were intrigued to learn how to make art that "moves."  They were taught about complementary colors and how to use colored pencils to create value in order to accomplish their goals of movement in their pictures. 

Second Grade Plate Weaving

Students in the second grade are learning about radial symmetry in their painted paper plate loom creations.  This has been my most successful lesson yet this year, although the second graders are, overall, VERY enthusiastic artists! 

Not sure this student got the hang of it but she did create something with radial symmetry!
