PATTERNS EVERYWHERE!!

My students have been studying patterns in our Art Class this entire school year.  Earlier in this year, my young artists created masks, based on informative of primitive cultures.  Studying the patterns found on ocean fish, we manipulated our clay into amazing fish sculptures.  Vibrate colors and radiating patterns filled our classroom!  We have been currently discussing Picasso and how he used pattern to create movement in his artworks.  My students' work was outstanding!  The portraits that they developed showed an understanding and a creative edge from Picasso's example. Only a few months left in our school year and even I can not wait to see what will come out of the minds of my creative geniuses!  On to our next adventure............
