About this School Project (1st grade Complementary Pattern Frogs (and Friends))
We are about to start our Ancient Animal unit and need to review patterns before starting our Aborigine Dot paintings. We also reviewed complementary colors during this activity.
Students reviewed what makes a pattern in artwork - repeating lines, shapes, and colors. We also discusses how the background in many of our artworks are often neglected and could use some deliberate attention rather than being an after thought.
For this refresher project we drew frogs or other creatures and created patterns in both the positive space (the frog) and the negative space (the background). We practiced creating patterns and giving all parts of the composition equal consideration
