Positive/Negative Space Art

3rd grade identified and used positive and negative space to cut and assemble cats.  

 

 

Afterwards, students created their own positive/negative space design.

 

 

 

Shape Monsters

Kindergartens traced, cut, and glued a circle, a square, and a triangle on their background paper.  Then students glued on legs, eyes, mouths, and teeth.  To complete their monsters they drew details such as eyeballs, eyelashes, and even mustaches.

 

 

 

 

 

Buildings at Night

1st graders identified and used shapes as they painted a circle moon with stars on their background paper.  They chose four rectangle building colors, cut the roofs with pattern scissors, and glued them down. Then doors and square windows where added to complete their project.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hand Print Bats

2nd grade started their bat project by first watching an educational video about bats.  Then students traced and cut out their hand shapes for the bat wings.  They chose a face/body color and added facial features.  Then they added ears and glued everything together including a decorated popsicle stick to hold when making their bats “fly”.

 

 

 

 

Skeletons in Action

3rd grade created figures in action poses by first sketching out poses using stick figure drawings.  Then we had fun with Model Magic and molded skulls, giving impressed texture for the eye sockets and mouth.  Then students assembled skeleton “bones” in an action pose, gluing everything in place.
