Positive & Negative Space Hearts Art Project

Another great lesson I saw on the Instagram account of Lauralee Chambers @2art.chambers.

I taught this lesson to a class of Grade 4-6 students. It took 2 classes to complete.

The first class, students created a bleeding tissue background on small squares of white paper. 

I use Spectra brand.

I lay out the colours like this so students can easily choose which ones they want.

This takes one class. The next class, students draw onto their colourful background, a variety of sizes of hearts. They need to fill all the available spaces. Then they colour in the background in Sharpie.

Open a window- it gets stinky!

These look so cool and dramatic when they're finished!!
