Abstract Birds

I did this activity with fourth grade. We used sharpie to draw and markers to add color. It took about 2 sessions, with a few students still working into a third week. Our goal was to create an abstract bird while exploring variety, repitition and unity.

Second Grade - Shapes

This is a fun lesson that I recently did with second grade. They chose 4 different markers and then chose 4 corresponding crayons. They were able to use any geometric shape they chose. I had them draw the shape and then echo it with the other three markers. They then colored each shape in. They repeated the process over and over learning about overlapping in the process. Great results and they loved doing it.
