Triangle Trees

We have started a unit looking at shape. We have been discussing what you can turn different shapes into. Below is an example of a little forest project that we did....

Paper, Glue and Scissors

We are setting aside the crayons and markers for the month in art class and using paper, scissors and glue to create works of art. I can see that this is going to be a fun challenge for them to think outside "the box".

With that in mind... I read the book Perfect Square by Michael Hall. The book uses illustrations to demonstrate how to transform a perfect square in to many different things.

Students started with a square to create the foundation of their project and then added other scraps to enhance.
