Thank you. I also found the Geometric Face,, but I could not find the directions you gave the kids. I like the way you present and I think I give too many directions. How do you frame this assignment. Agin thank you in advance. Have you ever written a book I could buy.

Pat,

You can see and read about this activity in a couple of places on my websites. I've done different versions for different grades.

For the first grade version, go here:

Try it, and let me know how it comes out!

I recall one of my evaluation writeups when I was teaching art and my 1st grade students were doing a collage with geometric shapes. There was a little tricky problem-solving component and some of the students took a longer time to figure it out and that was ok because I was interested more in the PROCESS of creating than I was in the END PRODUCT and the principal wrote on my evaluation that "some guided practice might have helped" those students. Uh..... no..... I would say you didn't understand the art process nor the idea of the lesson.
