construction
paper, 9x12 and 6x9 in two contrasting colors; scissors; glue
Procedure: For this activity I use one 6x9 paper
and one 9x12 paper in two contrasting colors. Shapes are carefully
cut from the 6x9 paper, then glued onto one-half of the 9x12
paper. The cut-out shape pieces are glued on the opposite side
to make a positive-negative, symmetrical design. This can also
be done as a four part design by cutting two papers at the same
time, or instead of working on a rectangle, the background can
be any shape.
