No, not the dance move. We're learning about Grid Art!
Description:
This lesson started by learning about a grid artist, along with examples of interesting grid art.
We then drew a grid on our paper and chose two complimentary colors. I chose blue and orange, with lighter and darker versions as secondary options.
After the grid was created we sketched our name or initials in bubble letters making sure the letters didn't overlap. We then colored the grid alternating colors to create the hidden name effect.
Extension:
This activity could be used to incorporate art with a math lesson on measuring using a ruler. Students would be asked to create a name grid with 42 squares, they would have to figure out different measurement options that would work to create their grid.
