Earlier this year, I bought the packet “Teaching the Elements of Art” made by Teaching in Paradise. This shape tracing project was included in the packet. With Courtney’s permission, I am sharing the beautiful results my students produced.
We used pattern blocks that I had in my classroom.
The students arranged the blocks to make shape pictures and traced them. After the designs were traced, they outlined them with a darker color and colored them in. Some of the students worked on using darker and lighter shades of the colors.
If you want to learn more about different art projects involving shapes, look at the Art is Basic archives about shapes.
