Spring Cabaret Posters

Students will create a work of art for the Copeland Cafeteria for the Spring Cabaret.  Students will make a statement to inspire healthy choices in diet and life-style.  Students will look at various art styles and create a poster size work of art in their own personal style using images of food and flowers.

Questions to consider:
What is healthy to eat?
What is beautiful to look at?  What do you focus on as you walk down the street or look out a window?
What are positive things to think about?
How can you reduce stress in your life?
What are positive choices you can make?

Tessellation

This week students will be creating tile patterns using geometric shapes.  We will take shapes and use rotation and repetition to create a tessellated pattern.  Students will use color and creativity to create artwork based on the principle of tessellation with no gaps or overlaps.
