Happy Valentine's Day from the GNS Art room!
In honor of Valentine's Day, the 1st graders and Kindergarteners at GNS made Valentines for someone or something special in their lives! The results were adorable, and made everyone smile.
They got large pink, purple, or red hearts and then used markers, crayons, and their imaginations to create cards, characters, or drawings. Many students requested a second heart and some cut out additional hearts or shapes or mounted their hearts on white or colored backgrounds.
It was a very simple assignment, but we took the opportunity to review symmetry, as all of the heart shapes were perfectly symmetrical. Studnets also learned how to cut a heart of their own by tracing a teardrop shape with the fold at the center to create a heart when it was unfolded. Symmetry appears in all geometric and some organic shapes and we discussed this before students were able to decorate their hearts.
Symmetry - The quality of being made up of exactly similar parts facing each other or around an axis. Or "it's the same on both sides, like a mirror!".
