Art project



Here is a basic art project focusing on the art element of shape. Students cut oout of board a geometric shape of their choice. It is traced with a permanent marker or crayon utilizying the principle of overlapping to create an abstract design. Then, watercolor paint is applied to the shapes and students can see how overlapping shapes create new shapes.




It is simple, and a basic art concept, but the outcome can be nice particularly if the student selects a nice color pallette.
