QUILT practice-2nd Grade

First, I'd like to thank the Murch parents. Without these beautiful origami paper donations from the parents, this project would not look as vibrant.
Children in 2nd grade are studying how similar shapes can be used to create designs. For this they are studying and taking a closer look at quilts. Each table was given one a different shape to work with.
For sharing, children use the rolling wall to hang their work. To be able to see their work on a wall alongside other's work is a very valuable experience. It allows them to be inspired by others' work and think of way they could improve on their own work in the future. We all benefit from experiencing work from other artists.
This artist chose to use their squares sideways and then accented their squares with smaller squares.
This artist focused on making a symmetrical design.
This artist noticed that her diamond shapes create a flower shape when glued next to one another in a circle.
Children make personal choices about their work in art. There isn't a 'right' or 'wrong' answer.
