Shape Owls

As a final shape project (a million and two years ago) our elementary classes created owl paper collages using organic and geometric shapes. As a refresher: Geometric shapes are shapes that can be measured with math and have formal names (ie: square, circle, etc.) and organic shapes are shapes that are made naturally and that cannot be measured with math like the shape of spilled milk or a leaf.

We made these back in early November so fall was still in the air.

Our kindergarteners and 1st graders ripped paper to create organic shapes.

Our 2nd and 3rd graders did a combination of organic and geometric shapes.

And our 4th and 5th graders focused on geometric shapes!

As our final project focusing on the element of art, shape, I thought they turned out wonderfully!

Of course, it helps when your students are as great as mine!
