Words as Art

Elementary schoolers look at images of the art installation, Wheel -which is found at the Denver Art Museum. After a class discussion about how the words and symbols on the artwork make it more meaningful, the discussion turns toward how each pupil could design a shape that relates to a story or an event that they are trying to tell. The engaging and creative lesson should be a hit with your class, and some very nice artwork is sure to be created as a result of implementing it.
