Trafalgar Primary School

Beautiful Bugs
The Grade 5 and 6 students linked their study of insects to the elements of art: shape, line, colour and pattern. The class looked at and discussed the artworks of Escher on tessellations. Each student created a cardboard stencil in the shape of an insect. They explored all possibilities of placement and overlapped shapes before using a white pencil, on black Cover Paper, to trace around their stencil. The students used a limited colour range to add colour and pattern to their artwork. Selective colouring of the insect shapes was an option some students used.
