Today was all about patterns. We discussed what a color pattern might be (red, green, red, green), and what a shape pattern might be (square, circle, square, circle). Then we read the book Pattern Fish by Trudy Harris. This an engaging book that teaches pattern not only through the illustration but also through rhyme. This was the inspiration for the project today. Students started by doing a warm up pattern drawing exercise. Next they created their very own pattern fish by first drawing the outline of the fish and then creating a pattern within it. Beginning with the tail first they used oil pastel to fill in the fish with brilliant color! These were later cut out and mounted to bright paper to really make them stand (or swim) on their own!
Enjoy the week!
