What better way to teach symmetry than the old fold painted paper method? Children in Kindergarten loved this project so much. I gave them a half sheet with a basic half butterfly drawn and they used paint to fill in the spaces drawn. They were told to quickly fold the paper and open it to reveal their butterflies.
This site is meant primarily as a resource for other elementary visual art teachers. Enjoy! All works posted before August 2014 are images from an elementary school I worked at in DC, all posted after that date are from an language immersion elementary school in Arlington, Virginia. Feel free to use ideas shared on this blog.Please, if trying out the ideas , at the very minimum give me written/verbal credit. Thank you!!
