I gave each student six sheets of paper that had one shape on each page: arrow, pentagon, triangle, rectangle, and hexagon. Each shape serves as a starting point for a creative drawing. For Example, “It’s not a pentagon, it’s a …” Each student used her/his creativity to draw something unique from these basic shapes. They used problem solving and critical thinking! Then they had the option to draw or use air-dry clay. They want to use watercolors on paper with pastels for the next Lower School Art Studio.
