Chuck Close, Math in the Art Room


Our fourth grade students made these AWESOME Chuck Close artworks.  First, we took their picture and printed it out, then they traced their face with a sharpie, then they used rulers to grid and add symbols.  The students colored their hair, face, background, and clothing two different colors.  We had a blast doing these and they look so GOOD! Love incorporating math and art! Especially since I am marrying a math teacher!!

3rd Grade Art Lesson: Chinese Dragons! Integrating art and math lesson


The other art teacher at Shayne, Julie Staehling, had the great idea to hang them with fishing line from the ceiling!  They look fantastic and brighten up the hallway!This is a good lesson to teach symmetry and add in that math!
