Some classes have been looking at pattern in art. We studied some works by M.C.Escher and looked at tessellation. Kids tried their own tessellations - there were some great imaginative ideas created. Some looked at the work of Kandinsky and the use of circles in various patterns. They experimented with felt squares and circles to create their own Kandinsky-like art pieces.
Some experimented with tangrams to see what designs they could come up with, and some created as many different patterns as they could think of.
Next week we'll be looking at pattern in nature and the fibonacci sequence.
Look around you - where do you see pattern?
"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvellous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day." Albert Einstein
