Beginning in 2013-2014 school year, I started a tradition with the out-going 5th grade class. They would work together to create a collaborative art piece which is permanently displayed in the school. Following the renovation, many of our halls were bare and desperately needed a splash of color. The next few posts will review the past projects in case you are unfamiliar with them.
The 5th Grade classes of 2016-2017 completed a tessellation. A tessellation is a shape that can be repeated over and over. It interlocks with itself without overlapping or leaving any gaps. We created tessellations by starting with a cardstock square. We cut some designs on 2 sides and taped them to opposite sides. This would become a stencil to trace again and again. I wish I had my original project, but I remember it looking like an elephant. Below, is a video that is uses similar steps to create a tessellation. I discovered a Viking tessellation by French Artist, Alain Nicolas. I wrote to him requesting permission to use his design for our project. He granted permission and sent me a pdf file of a single Viking. Each student colored a single Viking using colored pencils. I encouraged them to use heavy, medium, and light pressure to create a change in value and make the Vikings appear more 3-dimensional. We had practiced this technique in a past lesson drawing Nutcrackers. Each individual Viking was cut out to fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. The Vikings were glued and mounted onto a piece of wood. The piece was sealed with clear acrylic. The final project is displayed at the end of the long hallway before you turn towards the gym and library. As you are walking from a distance, you notice the large Viking. As you get closer, you notice the smaller Vikings. The students loved searching for their individual Vikings in the finished piece, which we titled "We Are Vikings". Thank you, Mr. Nicolas, for allowing us to use your Viking tessellation.
