This is similar to a project we did in the kindergarten in the fall. Each student wrote their name on a sheet of paper being instructed to write it as large as possible and to make dimensional letters. The students were then instructed to fill the rest of the paper with a variety of shapes and fill each shape with different designs and colors, ie.: a square with wiggly green lines, a triangle with purple commas, etc. Once they got into the project the variey grew. At one point many of the students realized that a puzzel could be created by cutting out the shapes.This is a way to showcase the artwork being done in the classes I teach at the local private school. Fun stuff!
