Animal Collage

| The third grade lesson using patterns as a way to fill in large areas is based on a lesson in Art & Activities, March, 1996, Victoria L. Rippeon. We discussed placement and size requirements for backgrounds. After drawing a few basic pieces with a fine black marker, the children were asked to fill them in with repeating patterns. This continued for the entire class. Near the finish, they were offered an opportunity to fill in some areas with crayon. The following week, the same concept was repeated, but this time creating one large animal on colored paper. After filling in the main areas with patterns, the animals were cut out and glued onto the background. | |
