These fun alien monster creatures are created using each child’s name as the design! Just fold, cut, and color – a great lesson in symmetry! Symmetry was a hot topic during one of our homeschool lessons this past week, so I introduced the boys to this fun art project that turned their names into symmetrical designs –...

This Christmas art project builds in practice with symmetry! Symmetrical Elf Legs!

Taylor Newman on Instagram: "Symmetry sculptures in 2nd grade! This lesson is loaded with problem solving and engagement, and the kids are always so excited to take their kinetic sculpture home after this one day lesson. Students learn to manipulate the paper in multiple ways like folding, bending, curling and fringing. They are challenged to create bilateral symmetry using their paper strips that I have pre-assembled in rainbow order and stapled in the middle. #elementaryart #arteducation…

Asian art is a subject we explore each year in second grade - this year we started with one of the world's most beautiful and amazing creatures - the tiger! Several types of tigers live in Asia and many artists from this region show the beauty of the animal in their art. Here are some of the examples we viewed, and an illustration of the symmetrical nature of the tiger's face. The symmetry lends itself well to a special type of monoprint, or single print, called symmetry printing - the…

Students learned about symmetry and created some festive holiday symmetrical elf legs. We started by discussing what symmetry is and examples of symmetry and asymmetry. Students folded a white...

I used butterflies to teach symmetry/formal balance to my second graders! Here are the steps! We did this over the course of 2-3 days: Fold 12x18 white paper in half like a card. Draw half of a butterfly. Trace in oil pastel. Fold so that the drawing is on the inside. Rub over drawing with a craft stick - the oil pastel will transfer to the other side. Open up and trace over the transferred oil pastel. Watercolor - make sure students know to make it the same on both sides! Cut out and glue…

In 2nd grade grade we talk about symmetry and what it means to be symmetrical. For most of my students this lesson is good for reinforcing what they have previously learned about symmetry. In first grade we do a mosaic buttery and I teach my students that symmetry means "the same on both sides". For the symmetry tiles I also talk about pattern, shape, line, unity, and repetition.This project takes 3-4 hours to complete. My students and symmetry... and Pajamas. They were having a party that…

A favourite project to teach to my junior and senior infant classes is one on positive and negative space. Looking at what it means, in language that the students understand. Building on those artistic skills, this lesson teaches children about symmetry, drawing and the power of negative space in their artworks . . #positiveandnegativespace #artprojects

Radial Symmetry is a uniquely satisfying project theme for middle schoolers. Even the most basic of designs gets repeated in a way that yields eye-catching results. Here is my take on a printed ver…
