Learners examine Lao art techniques and practice replication and modification of Lao designs. Maintaining a symmetrical image, they embellish designs with imagery and background color. They discuss the students' works and note the...

Students discover historical value and use of different African masks through research and literature. Students also relate different customs and traditions of ethnic groups to the masks.

Make origami ducks with your class to reinforce geometry concepts and vocabulary; develop fine motor and visual translation skills; and enrich study of Japanese culture, the pond habitat, or migration. Create a whole group "worksheet"...

Pupils explore the concept of geometric symmetry. In this geometric symmetry lesson, students walk around their school and take pictures of objects that demonstrate symmetry. Pupils use Microsoft Paint to draw the lines of symmetry on...

Fifth graders create a radially balanced design using geometric shapes which exhibits their prior knowledge of symmetry. They use a kaleidoscope image to develop a design using markers or colored pencils.

In this symmetry in art worksheet, students circle the objects below that are examples of symmetry. Students then draw a line through the center of each image to show how the halves are symmetrical.

This art activity seems simple enough. As a way to introduce radial symmetry, spokes, or rays, learners create an artistic representation demonstrating radial symmetry. They stick a variety of letter stickers on their paper starting in...

Young scholars describe Frieze designs using the work of indigenous people.  In this math lesson, students create 7 frieze designs using different patterns.  They create one row of repeated art and repeat this 7 times...

Students make a design with pattern blocks and then pass them on to the rest of the class. They have to make them symmetrical and complete the design.

Fifth graders view prints of M.C. Escher's work. They look at examples of geometric figures and polygons and discuss places they have seen them. Students create their own tessellations. They write a report about the process they used in...

Students observe butterfly images and then draw and paint their own design. They use this activity to explain symmetry.

First graders, in groups, studying symmetry, compose collages and bulletin boards.

Learners create a Tree of Life. In this visual art lesson, students explore mandalas. Learners investigate the concepts of balance and symmetry while designing their own unique Tree of Life.

Origami is an excellent way to combine Japanese culture, art, and geometric shapes into one engaging instructional activity! Scholars begin by listening to the story Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes and learn the origin of...

In this symmetry worksheet, students find examples of 3 different types of symmetry in their surroundings and draw them in the boxes provided. The types of symmetry are reflective symmetry, symmetry along a line and symmetry around a...

Learners explore color, shape, line, balance, radial symmetry, unity, repetition, and pattern as they make a peace quilt inspired by those made by Hawaiian women in the 1800s. After learning a bit about the history or peace quilts, the...

Grrrrr, gargoyles are on the loose! Young artists are familiarized with the history of gargoyles, examine pictures of them, and hear a story about them. Then, they draw a gargoyle and write down exactly how they did it (procedural...

Students explore botany by completing an art design activity in class. In this gardening history lesson, students identify the plants and crops utilized in the Colonial era for both food and medicine. Students utilize geometry to create...

Fourth graders participate in hands-on activities to introduce them to the concept of symmetry. They make a silly symmetrical picture out of their names after gluing them onto a larger sheet of construction paper. This is a really...

Students listen to a read aloud of The Quiltmaker's Gift by Jeff Brumbeau finding examples of symmetry in the illustrations in the book.

Symmetry, line, shape, art, and math are all connected through a fun hands-on craft. Included are instructions to a classic activity, where learners create butterflies to show symmetry in nature and then discuss symmetry in math. It is...

Students examine and discuss the use of symmetry in a painting by the artist Roger Brown. They draw a geometric shape, divide it with a line of symmetry, and create a painting using the geometric shapes demonstrating symmetry.

Eighth graders, after researching the properties of graphs of conic sections, absolute value and inverse relations, make a drawing of precise functions and relations from a specified list of equations. The final design should analyze the...
