Today we are learning more about symmetry.
For this project I searched magazines for images of faces. I removed the pages with those images from the magazines, then I used a cutting tool to slice the paper in half down the center of each face. I ended up with about a dozen images for the kids to choose from.
Each child selected a face to draw from and we taped the corners of each image onto a plain sheet of white paper.
Then the kids completed the missing half of their selected image onto
their blank paper. First, each child outlined their half in plain
pencil, then they colored and shaded/highlighted using colored pencils
and erasers.
I plan to do this project again with landscapes and objects sometime soon.
Everyone did such a fantastic job!!!
Here are their finished pieces:
