Second Grade - Shapes

This week in art second grade was working with geometric shapes. They chose a shape and then echoed that shape with three other colors. They colored them in neatly and repeated the process to fill up the space. They learned about overlapping while doing the process. What great designs, love them!

Me Designs...

Third through fifth grade finished up their "Me Designs". It was an introductory lesson to share all the things that are important to them. Here are a few of the third graders work.
