4th grade was working on the difference between organic shapes and geometric shapes. They looked at the art of Reggie Laurent and had a great time imagining what all the organic shapes looked like in his artwork. They went to work making their own organic shapes with construction paper, and once they had a nice balance and variety of organic, they added geometric shapes. When their paper was full, they added lines with white oil pastel. Some of the shapes also contain patterns created with colored oil pastels. It took a little longer than I thought it would to cut all the shapes, but the students were 100% engages and the results are stunning.

Hi! I love this art lesson. How many days did this lesson take and how long are your class periods? Thanks!

Hi Emily! Sorry, just seeing your comment. The lesson took 4 periods and they were 60 minutes. But, I was on a cart and classes were back-to-back, so they were more like 50 min. Plus, we spent time moving desks into groups and handing out all the supplies/artwork. We spent 5-to 10 minuets on review, and about that for clean-up.
