Illusion Snakes




The fourth grade learned how to draw a snake curling around a tree. We talked about how a tree grows and what we might find on a tree. We also talked about different snake patterns and brainstormed some imaginary patterns we would like our snakes to have. Some students found drawing the snake curling around the tree difficult, but the final products were beautiful!

Pattern Names

The pattern name project was the initial piece for a larger unit of study. Student's were challenged with writing their names in block or bubble capital letters. All letters had to overlap the previous one. After sketching out their names, they had to fill each letter with a different pattern. The spaces where the letters overlapped also had to be different patterns. Students were challenged to create interesting and varied patterns. After creating their patterns, students erased the lettered outlines and colored their patterns with sharpie. Once they were finished, the patterns created the forms of their letters in unique and bold ways.
