Grade 7 Art: Exploring Shapes and Patterns

The Grade 7 students began the term by exploring form in drawing. Each student created a unique design using interlocking shapes that repeat a pattern. We studied the amazing works of M.C. Escher, examining his drawings and woodcuts to recognize the illusory dimensions of repetition.

Students were encouraged to continue the drawing through inspiration of the interlock shape and the results were wonderfully creative.
