| Seventh grade students in art class have created one-of-a-kind color patterns and embellished them with an overlay of black cut paper. From a choice of 14 colors, students selected four to create a repetitive pattern of stripes. After gluing the pattern to construction paper, students used the technique of folding and cutting paper to create a unique design that they glued on top of the pattern. The results are quite striking. Nice job 7th graders and Mrs. Borsch! |
