Third grade was learning about the differences between geometric and organic shapes. They began their project by creating organic shapes using warm colors. The next week they outlined their organic shapes with permanent marker, and added overlapping geometric shapes. Students used cool colors to paint their geometric shapes and they also had to make decisions about what color to use when geometric shapes overlapped. I jumped into this project thinking it may be too complicated for my third graders, but I am happy to say I was wrong! They loved this project and used great care while painting. You could have heard a pin drop...except we were listening to music while we worked. As one student exclaimed..."This is so relaxing, I wish we could just do this all day!"

I was a graphic designer for many years, and then decided to make the leap into art education. I taught elementary art for 8 years. Archives
