5th Grade upside Down Drawings

Familiar things do not look the same upside down. We automatically assign a top, bottom, and sides to the things we perceive, and we expect to see things oriented in the usual way - that is, the right side up. For, in upright orientation, we can recognize familiar things, name them, and categorize them by matching what we see with our stored memories and concepts. The exercise of upside-down drawing is to take a line drawing, place it upside down and copy it.

Seventh grade - Divide & Rearrange

The students objective:; Create an artwork - change and adapt to create an entirely new artwork. The students were prompted to create a simple design using a circle that was divided into fifteen shapes. After coloring, they were asked to cut up the shapes and rearrange to for an entirely new work of art. Here a few samples:

7th Grade - Divide & Rearrange

The students were asked to draw a large circle and divide it up into 15 or more shapes. They then chose four markers or colored pencils to neatly color their designs. Once completed, they were asked to cut up their shapes and rearrange them into an entirely new composition. This forces them to alter their thinking after they completed their final circle designs. What they get as a result is a unique work of art with an original title.
