This project is always a winner with my third grade students! We discussed positive/negative space and looked at how an artist uses space by looking at several paintings of Georgia O'Keeffe. I challenged the students to make a creative symmetrical shapes for their stencils. The room was filled with excitement as they cut shape after shape, deciding which one would be their best. Next, students experimented with colors to decide what would work best for their shapes. Students were able to make two pieces of art if they would like, and turn in their best. Students also turned in a written response based on their art. They finished off their project with a gallery walk. They came up with several objectives they felt were important throughout the process and discussed the artwork of peers based on those objectives.
