STEAM - Math and Art Lesson
This radial symmetry lesson is a STEAM lesson as it integrates math and art.
It could be used by elementary and middle school students.
Through this art activity, students learn about geometric and organic shapes and how Laurent uses them in his abstract paintings. They then create a drawing of their own, based on Laurent’s work.
The lesson contains full directions for teachers and students. There are many photos of paintings by Reggie Laurent and visuals of student samples. There is a link to a YouTube video about the artist, but it is not necessary for teaching the lesson. (All photos of Reggie Laurent's work have been used with the permission of the artist.)
This fun, no-prep art lesson was created for substitutes but may also be used by art and classroom teachers. Students learn art history and use their imaginations to create a silly sandwich.
Kids love this lesson. Subs love this lesson. And teachers love this lesson when they are putting together emergency art lessons.
