Seventh graders create a design using a detailed drawing reversing positive and negative space. They explain organic shape and geometric shape.

Sixth graders discuss and identify shapes, spaces, colors, patterns, or tesserae in mosaics and compare them to cultural symbols of the Roman Empire. They design and create mosaics using paper.

Students investigate the use of patterns and how they are used with stencils in order to create personal works of art. They write the story that is created with the repeating of a pattern. The final composition must be made from 3...

Pupils identify different shapes and patterns. They locate France on a world map and examine the works of artist, Henri Matisse. They discover shapes that are related to Math.

Third graders discover geometric shapes by completing a series of games and activities. Using ropes with knots tied every foot, they make shapes such as squares, triangles, and hexagons. In pairs, 3rd graders use pattern blocks to...

Students discuss sea life and what lives in the ocean. They examine patterns, and create fish collages using ripped construction paper.

Learners will draw the moon's shape for each evening on a calendar and then determine the pattern in the shapes over several weeks. Students' understandings should be confined to observations, descriptions, and finding patterns.

Students create an art piece incorporating tessellating shapes, translational symmetry, reflectional symmetry,and or rotational symmetry. They are asked if they know the definition of tessellation. If so, students are asked what shapes...

Second graders use empty pizza boxes and pattern blocks to create a Save and Rave Box, which is a 3-D portfolio.

Third graders name different kinds of shapes and then discuss what they know about them an what they would like to learn using a K-W-L chart whole group. They listen to the book, THE GREEDY TRIANGLE and then retell it to the class. They...

Fifth graders investigate geometric shapes. In this geometry instructional activity, 5th graders classify and group shapes and patterns by likeness. They investigate patterns based on clues from their peers.

Students study the basic elements and concepts of the visual art's perceptual component - such as shape, line and color. They create tessellations that foster problem solving and reflective thinking.

Students explore arithmetic and numerical patterns. After observing a teacher created function box, students describe a pattern and predict what will "come out" of the function box. They explore patterns such as geometric shapes,...

Students draw a chair from five different perspectives. After using the shapes from their drawings to create a cubist collage, students paint their collage monochromatically.

First graders investigate the function of pattern as it applies to music, dance and visual art, and participate in activities that demonstrate the patterns found in each art form. They then focus on identifying musicians by the "tools"...

Young scholars create a butterfly displaying a mirror image of itself to show that it is symmetrical. For this symmetry lesson plan, students go over symmetry in different shapes and identify patterns in butterflies.

Fifth graders explore the concept of symmetry using lines drawn through different shapes. The worksheet that is included in the lesson should be used to chart the lines of symmetry for the different shapes drawn.

Students observe crystal growth of Epsom salts and the variables that hinder or help their nucleation and growth. They illustrate a series of drawings/pictures as the crystals grow. They look for the different shapes they form as well...

Students use tiles to find area. For this finding area lesson, students explore how to use square tiles to make shapes, then look at how they can be used to measure area. Students then explore how an area can be covered with different...

Students reate an original crayon resist painting of a bugs life. They Choose 1 or more bugs to draw in composition and simplify objects into simple shapes, forms, and patterns students draw objects with spontaneity and imagination.

First graders look for geometrical shapes in nature to help them appreciate the diversity of the natural environment.

Students identify and create simple geometric shapes and describe simple spatial relationships. Through discussion, hands-on activities and show and tell, they identify geometric solids in real life and create graphs of commonly found...

Learners identify different leaf types. They examine their patterns, shapes and colors. They complete a worksheet to end the instructional activity.

Students think about their neighborhood and get a mental picture of their community. They then interpret aerial photography, learning how to use shapes and patterns to describe urban, suburban and rural communities.
