In Visual Arts, students are learning about organic versus geometric shapes. Geometric Shapes: such as circles, triangles, orsquares have perfect, uniform measurements and don't often appear in nature. Organic Shapes: are associated with things from the natural world, like plants and animals (http://www.kinderart.com/drawing/organicgeometric.shtml) First, we examined organic versus geometric shapes using The Artist's Connected Toolkit website. Next, we read Alexander and the Wind Up Mouse and students identified organic and geometric shapes in the illustrations. |
