A Page of Hearts (Valentine’s Pictures)

Heart Artwork

Valentine’s Day is coming!  Are you looking for a fun heart project idea to try with your kids?  This challenge for my 3rd graders was to design 9 different hearts.  I used this project with a substitute teacher earlier this week when I was home with sick kids.  The students received a photocopied grid and they were challenged with drawing hearts in each rectangle and designing them in unique ways and to try a variety of materials.. these were made with Sharpies, paints, oil pastels, wire, pipe cleaners, tissue paper and scraps.  I told the sub that they were not required to draw hearts and if they really wanted to draw something else in each rectangle instead (like a tree or star or something else) they could choose to do so.  Everybody drew hearts, so I guess they all were excited about Valentine’s Day.

    What is the size of the grid? How big are the “squares” students used to draw hearts and fill in with mixed media to create hearts? Want to try but need measurements please.

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
