Geometric and Organic Shapes

Last week, the second grade artists learned all about geometric and organic shapes. First, we talked about what shapes are, and then we talked about how to identify them by category.

Students also worked on polishing their cutting and gluing skills with this project. The final result is a reflection on all of the shapes that the second graders can skillfully cut out. This project sure will come in handy for the Kandinsky Inspired Collage. Stay tuned…
