Patterned Hearts and Mosaic Monograms


1st grade explored different styles of lines, while creating concentric hearts out of oil pastels.  After they completed all of their hearts, they filled the spaces with original line styles.  The students then used watercolors to paint over their creation to explore the resist of oil to water.  The kiddos are always amazed at how the watercolors just roll right over the oil pastels and color the paper without changing the lines.
3rd grade learned about mosaics from around the world, as well as comparing and contrasting mosaics and collages.  They then created their own monogram mosaic "tile" from cut paper.
