This project is one of many that allowed us to review various concept of Design/Art Elements (space and shape) and Principles of Design (balance and contrast) as well as symmetry, asymmetry and composition. The best part is that you don't need to much to do it, these were done with black construction paper, glue, scissors and lots of patience and creativity. 

6th graders got busy and very entertained by this awesome project...more results coming soon!
