These are the results about our mandala! We did it in groups of 4!
After the last activity drawing the symmetrical animal, 4th graders learnt how symmetrical we are. In order to do this we create symmetrical self-portraits, an activity that uses precise measurement to get beautiful results
First of all, they have to take a picture about theirselves and cut it in half.
Students glued their half-heads onto a piece of 9 x 12 white construction paper.
Using the ruler, students pick a starting point and measure how far it is from the line of symmetry. Then they measure that exact same distance on the opposite side, marking the spot with a dot.
And these are the results!
4th Graders leart about symmetry with this initial activity. They had to draw a half animal silhouette in a peace of black paper and cut it.
After that they had to paint a piece of paper in order to make the background with watercolors with cool or warm colors.
And these are the results!
