Kindergarten, first and second grade artists spent their studio time this week creating decorative patterns. Students recognized patterns on their clothing and even on the soles of their shoes! We also examined the paintings of several artists, including Miro, Picasso, and Kandinsky and identified the patterns these artists included in their paintings.
Using markers and six squares of white paper, students each created a series of six original patterns. When the patterns were complete, our artists then used a square template/pattern to trace an outline for the placement of each of their individual squares.
